<span>The addition and subtraction of negatively charged electrons can easily change an atom’s charge, because they perpetually spin in valence shells outside the nucleus. It is easier for a neighboring atom to share or steal an electron rather than a positively charged proton, which is found in the nucleus. It requires a strong energy input to split a proton free from other protons and neutrons. thus, the atoms lose or gain electrons from neighboring ones and become what is known as "ions". Hope it helped!</span>

Answer:

<em>What quantity dictates the speed of a reaction?</em> The activation energy

Explanation:

According to the collision theory, when molecules collide, they must overcome an energy barrier for the reaction to take place. This energy, known as activation energy, is represented by the difference in energy between the initial state and the transition state. The higher the activation energy, the slower the reaction. That's why catalysts reduce the activation energy to accelerate the reaction.

What is the percent composition of YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet). The formula for
andre [41]

Answer:   Y  21.38 % , Al  32.44 % and O 46.16 %

Explanation: Molar mass of YAl5O12 is 88.91 + 5·26.98+12·16

= 415.81 g/mol

  m-% ( Y) = 88.91 / 415.81 = 21.38 % ,     m-% (Al) = 5·26.98 / 415.81 =

  32.44 %  , rest is Oxygen
