Answer:

Option A) Atoms have lost or gained an electron and have a charge

Explanation:

The result of a loss or gained electron can cause a large or lesser number of protons than the electrons, which causes a charge imbalance because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.  If the number of protons or the number of electrons is unequal, then it means that the atom has a charge, and is an ion.  It is a cation if it lost an electron such that it has a positive charge and it is an anion if it gained an electron such that it has a negative charge.

Why is there a pop sound when a burning splint is extinguished in a test tube filled with hydrogen gas?
AveGali [126]
Hydrogen is actually a combustible gas. But when you try to burn it, it explodes. However when you produce hydrogen in a laboratory, which is relatively less, and put a burning splint, it also explodes, but  in a reduced form - a <span>POP </span><span>sound. The very small explosion (doesn't feel like one, does it?) extinguishes the flame.</span>

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Because heat causes alcohol to volatilize, instead of burning it.

The combustion is not fulfilled since this is detached from the surface of the banknote that would be the necessary product to burn, in addition to considering that the necessary temperature is not reached

Explanation:

When water and alcohol are joined, they form a solution with high evaporation power, plus alcohol that has a higher degree of volatility than water, this is how these liquids are not retained on the surface of the banknote with heat and they are not it burns.
