Explanation:
Picture A which shows an overall negative charge represents an anion. Anion are formed when an atom gains an electron. In doing that, the total number of electrons (negative charge) is greater than the number of protons (positive charge), hence it would have an overall negative charge.
Picture B which shows a neutral charge represents a neutral atom. In an atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
Picture C which shows an overall positive charge represents a cation. Cation are formed when an atom loses an electron. In doing that, the total number of electrons (negative charge) is less than the number of protons (positive charge), hence it would have an overall positive charge.
A magnesium atom is a neutral atom where the number of protons and electrons are the same. A magnesium ion has a positve 2 charge since it will lose two of its electrons when it undergoes ionic bonding. Since it's the same element it will still have the same amount of 12 protons. For isotopes of magnesium, they will have differing amounts of neutrons and thus a difference in the mass number since neutrons have a mass of about 1
The answer should be B, ionic bond.
Ionic bond is the bonding between a metal and a non-metal. While covalent bond is the bond between non-metals, and metallic bond is the bond between metals.
Since Na, sodium, is a metal, and Cl, chlorine, is a non-metal, the bond formed between them is an ionic bond. Sodium gives up an electron to chlorine inside this bonding.
Answer: it C
Explanation: Because is the only that makes sense and the only one that seems right
Answer:
a. chemical change
Explanation:
A chemical change can cause an odor, however a physical change cannot, and the use of thermal energy will only make an object colder, not give it an odor.
