Answer:

Cation

Explanation:

Since the protons are greater than electrons, this means the atom has a net positive charge on it and is now called a cation.

As there are 4 protons, this means that the outermost shell has 2 valence electrons 2s1, 2s2 and this is Group 2 element. Looking at Periodic table, we find that this is beryllium 4Be5 and is denoted as Be^2+

Answer:

The melting of the caps increases the concentration of CO2 in the water, making its absorption faster.

Explanation:

<h2><u>CO2 absorption</u><u> </u></h2>

The polar caps of our planet have in their composition several elements, among them the CO2 that is absorbed by the atmosphere. Cold waters, which are present in the Arctic, have an easier time absorbing CO2 compared to other waters.

When glaciers melt, the CO2 that is present in the mixture is dissolved in the ocean, increasing its concentration. The cold waters that came from the ice caps increase the absorption of CO2.
