Cations are formed by losing electrons in the valence shell of atoms. There are more protons than electron ions making the atom more positive.

An anion has <em><u>gained electrons</u></em> and therefore has more electrons than protons. It has a negative charge.


An example if this doesn't make too much sense.

Charged Atoms: If electrons are removed from an atom, that atom becomes positively charged because it has more positive charge carriers (protons) than negative charge carriers (electrons)

These types of charged atoms are called positive ions or, cations. DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES, the removed electrons can remain free or they may attach themselves to another atom that can accept extra electrons. If this occurs, a negatively charged ion, or anion, is created.


I hope I made this clear enough for anyone who needed help on this. Hope this helps!!! Have a great day :)))

An aqueous solution of HNO2 is poured onto a solid pile of SrCO3. Identify the net ionic equation for this reaction.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

D) SrCO3(s) + 2 HNO2(aq) → Sr(NO2)2 + H2O + CO2(g)

Explanation:

When an acid react with carbonate, it produces nitrate, carbon-dioxide gas and water molecule. When nitrous acid react with Strontium carbonate, three products are formed i. e. Strontium nitrate, carbon-dioxide gas and water. In the reaction, both nitrous acid and Strontium carbonate exchange their partners with each other and forming a different products.

Sonja and Jeremy performed several experiments to show how changes in temperature affected the volume of an inflated balloon. Th
ycow [4]

Answer:

They also showed the effects of pressure on volume if temperature stayed the same

Explanation:

They also showed the effects of pressure on volume if temperature stayed the same is the experiment that will provide an evidence for Boyle's law.

Boyle's law states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".

  • The law is an affirmation of what happens when there is a dynamics between pressure and volume if temperature is made constant.
  • So the experiment designed to investigate this proves and shows Boyle's law.

How does liquid carbon dioxide connect to organic chemistry <br> please I need long answers
inessss [21]
Carbon dioxide can’t exist in three states; Gas, Liquid & Solid. At normal temperatures and pressures, CO2 is colorless with a slightly pungent odor at high concentrations. If compressed and cooled to proper temperature the gas liquifies. Solid CO2, (dry ice) sublimates back to the natural gaseous state.
