Answer : An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

Explanation:

For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. But, they are unequal when the atoms present in the form of ions or the atom has some charges.

When an unequal number of electrons and protons then it leads to the formation of ionic species.

Ion : An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

There are two types of ion:

Cation : When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.

Anion : When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

For example : The neutral atom Na has equal number of protons and electrons i.e 11 but Na^+ ion has unequal number of protons and electrons that means it has 11 number of protons and 10 number of electrons.

When you drink sea water, what type of solution do you expose your cells to?
Alex Ar [27]
The answer should be 1, hypertonic. 

Seawater is highly concentrated in salt, and with that being said, it has a low concentration of water molecules. 

Hypertonic means the solution has a lower water concentration than the other side (cell), vice versa for hypotonic, a high water concentration than the other side of the solution, and for isotonic, it means that both sides of the solution have the same water concentration. 

So, the answer should be 1, hypertonic. 

In addition, when your cells are exposed to hypertonic solution, the water molecules in your cells will start flowing out of the cells, to the outside, due to the difference in water concentration leading to osmosis. Your cells will lose so much water that they may even shrink!
