<span>The oxygen atom accepts the proton. The oxidation number of O is -2, meaning that there are two unshared electrons in the valence shell; In the ClO- ion, one of these is shared with the Cl- ion, leaving an unshared electron on the oxygen atom, which is what the hydrogen atom shares its electron with, becoming the proton accepted by the O atom.</span>
An exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is released to the environment in form of heat or light. Endothermic reaction in the other hand is a chemical reaction where energy is taken from the surroundings and thus the surroundings end up with less energy than they started with. In this case; the above reaction is an Exothermic reaction (heat is being released to the surroundings).
"<span>A. The polar regions have long winters and short, cool summers." would be the correct answer.

The correct answer is C. We know this is true since the number of protons an atom has is its atomic number. Since this atom has 9 protons, look for the element on the periodic table that has an atomic number of 9. The element that has an atomic number of 9 is flouring.
I hope this helps.
