An anion.   

These group of atoms because they are negatively charged migrate to the anode (positive terminal) of an electrolytic process.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When electrons are removed from a neutral atom or ion then the atom attains a positive charge. Therefore, it is called a cation.

For example, Na^{+} is a cation.

Whereas when electrons are added to a neutral atom or ion the then the atom attains a negative charge. Therefore, it is called an anion.

For example, Cl^{-} is an anion.

Anode is a positively charged electrode and cathode is a negatively charged electrode.

Thus, we can conclude that a negatively charged atom or group of atoms is called an anion.

Compare the 3 types of bonds based on what happens to the valence electrons of the atoms
uysha [10]
In ionic bonds, one atom gives one or more electrons to another atom so both can get closer to 8 valence electrons.  Example:  In potassium chloride (KCl), Potassium gives up one valence electron to chlorine, so that the outer shell of potassium has 8 valence electrons.  This happens only between metals and nonmetals.

In covalent bonds, atoms share their electrons to reach 8 valence electrons.  Example: In water (H2O), Oxygen shares one valence electron with one atom of hydrogen, and another valence electron with another atom of hydrogen.  Oxygen now has 8 (4 unshared + 2 of its own + 1 from hydrogen + 1 from hydrogen), and each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons: one of its own and one from oxygen [ note that hydrogen only needs 2 valence electrons to be complete instead of 8].

In metallic bonds between metals, the valence electrons move much more freely than in other bonds.  This free characteristic makes metals how they are: ductile, malleable, sectile, conductive, etc.

What determines the types of chemical reactions that an atom participates in? A. the number of electrons in the outermost electr
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The answer would be A. the number of electrons in the outermost electron shell.

Explanation:

These are called valence electrons which are transferred, shared, and rearranged by creating covalent bonds producing new substances.

Hope this helped! :)
