Answer:

The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.

Answer: B. CH₂OH

Explanation:

First off, we need a liquid solvent. Eliminate C and D.

Now, we have to consider polarity.

Carbon tetrachloride is nonpolar, so sodium chloride will be insoluble.

NeTakaya

A general formula of an acid always start with H or the hydronium ion. It has to end with an anion. As acids, these compounds are named starting with the prefix "hydro-," then adding the first syllable of the anion, then the suffix "-ic." Hope this answers the question.

Which of the following radiations consists of a helium nucleus emitted by some radioactive substances? Alpha radiation Beta radi

erica [24]

Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}$

Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e$

Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma$
