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.

Which of the following statements is always TRUE for the freezing of water?

Rom4ik [11]

ΔG > 0 is always true for the freezing of water.

Explanation:

The freezing of water is only spontaneous when the temperature is fairly small. Over 273 K, the higher value of TΔS causes the sign of ΔG to be positive, and there is no freezing point.
The entropy decreases as water freezes. This does not infringe the Thermodynamics second law. The second law doesn't suggest entropy will never diminish anywhere.
Entropy will decline elsewhere, provided it increases by at least as much elsewhere.
