A negative ion or anion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by gaining one or more electrons. Whereas a positive ion or cation is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by losing one or more electrons.
The losing and gaining all occurs on the outermost shell.
Answer:
4. trigonal planar symmetry.
Explanation:
The sp2 hybridization is formed with one s and two p atomic orbitals and form trigonal planar symmetry. In sp2 hybridization, there are same valence shell in both the orbitals and it gives three equivalent sp2 hybridized orbitals that are separated by 120 degrees giving trigonal planar symmetry.
Hence, the correct answer is "4. trigonal planar symmetry.".
<h2>Answer:</h2>
B) endothermic reaction.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Melting of ice is endothermic because it is taking heat from the environment, feeling cold, because it requires energy to break the ice bonds. It's also why you feel cold when wet it takes energy to evaporate water. The ice absorbs the energy from the environment. Its internal potential energy increases, therefore, it's endothermic. It also increases the entropy of reaction.
