<u>Answer:</u>

Ion is a charged particle.

A neutral atom contains equal number of positive protons and negative electrons

When an electron is lost or gained the atom becomes a charged particle which is called as an ION.

For example  

Na is an atom which contains 11 electrons and 11 protons (= to atomic number)

When Na loses an electron it will have 11 positive proton and 10 negative electron and Thus, Na will become Na^+, a charge particle which we call it as sodium ion.

Cl is an atom which contains 17 electrons and 17 protons (= to atomic number)

When Cl loses an electron it will have 17 positive proton and 18 negative electron and Thus, Cl will become Cl^-, a charge particle which we call it as chloride ion.

When an ion is positively charged it is called as a cation

When an ion is negatively charged it is called as an anion.

Beryllium forms Be^{+2} cation.we see this in Beryllium chloride BeCl_2.

If BeCl_2 is present in water it forms Beryllium ions which is in Hydrated form that is H_2 O molecules are present  in its ion [Be(H_2 O)_4 ]^{+2}.

Answer:

Explanation:

The symbol of beryllium is Be. It is located in the second group on the periodic table.

Beryllium is a divalent cation with a charge of +2.

It is capable of losing 2 electrons in order to be like the noble gas He and this is a more stable configuration.

Given the unbalanced equation which represents aluminum metals reacting with an acid:
Alona [7]

There are three number of electrons lost by 1 mole of aluminium because aluminum has +3 charge on it.

<h3>What is cation?</h3>

When an atom loses electron, positive charge appears on the atom this is called cation. In this reaction we can see that aluminium has +3 charge which means that it loses 3 electrons.

So we can conclude that There are three number of electrons lost by 1 mole of aluminium because aluminum has +3 charge on it.

At what temperature Kelvin would
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The temperature would be 304, 87 K

Explanation:

We use the formula PV= nRT:

T= PV/nR = 1,00 atm x 100L /4,00 mol x 0,082 l atm/K mol=<em>304, 87 K</em>
