Answer:
Cations are ions that are positively charged. They form when they lose an electron because they would have more protons than electrons. In your problem you have for example potassium (number three).
Iodine is a cation because it lost one electron. The ion symbol then would be:
I ⁺
So this is your clue. If it has a positive or a plus sign on top, that would make it a cation. Another clue would be if it LOST an electron, then it is a cation.
An anion, on the other hand, is negatively charged, because they gain electrons, making the electrons more than the protons. In your problem, you have Iodine as an example (number one).
Iodine gained one electron and the ion symbol would be:
I⁻
So again that is your clue for anions, they have a negative or a minus sign on top of the symbol. If they GAINED an electron, that would make them an anion.
Naming monoatomic anions is easy. They are named with the suffix -ide at the end. (Cations retain their name). For example Sulfur (number two).
Sulfur is an anion that gained two electrons with an ion symbol of:
S²⁻
So from the name <u>Sulfur</u><u> </u>the name will change into "Sulfide" and its name will now be <u>Sulfide ion. </u>
The one major change that occurred was the placement and organization of the electron. Rutherford's model identified that the electrons were at a distance from the nucleus, Bohr's model identified that the electrons occurred at levels that related to their available energy, and the modern atomic model shows that electrons are located in a predicted area but cannot be identified in a specific point.
Answer:
Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn
Answer:
Lipids are hydrophobic because they do not mix with water. Lipids are made of long chains of carbon and hydrogen. ... The partial charges on the water molecule cannot interact with the neutral lipid molecule and thus water and lipids do not mix.
