A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

An excited ozone molecule, O3*, in the atmosphere can undergo one of the following reactions,O3* → O3 (1) fluorescenceO3* → O +

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The simplified expression for the fraction is $\text {X} = \dfrac{ {k_3 \times cM} }{k_1 +k_2 + k_3 }$

Explanation:

From the given information:

O3* → O3 (1) fluorescence

O + O2 (2) decomposition

O3* + M → O3 + M (3) deactivation

The rate of fluorescence = rate of constant (k₁) × Concentration of reactant (cO)

The rate of decomposition is = k₂ × cO

The rate of deactivation = k₃ × cO × cM

where cM is the concentration of the inert molecule

The fraction (X) of ozone molecules undergoing deactivation in terms of the rate constants can be expressed by using the formula:

$\text {X} = \dfrac{ \text {rate of deactivation} }{ \text {(rate of fluorescence) +(rate of decomposition) + (rate of deactivation) } } }$

$\text {X} = \dfrac{ {k_3 \times cO \times cM} }{ {(k_1 \times cO) +(k_2 \times cO) + (k_3 \times cO \times cM) } }$

$\text {X} = \dfrac{ {k_3 \times cO \times cM} }{cO (k_1 +k_2 + k_3 \times cM) }$

$\text {X} = \dfrac{ {k_3 \times cM} }{k_1 +k_2 + k_3 }$ since cM is the concentration of the inert molecule
