Hey there!

The two types of ions are anions and cations.

Anions are negative and cations are positive (cheesy, but CAT-ions are PAWS-itive helps me remember).

If there are more electrons than protons, then the negative charge will be higher than the positive charge. So, the ion will overall be negative.

This means the atom is an anion.

Hope this helps!

Is the sky actually blue?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

When we look at an arbitrary point in the sky, away from the sun, we see only the light that was redirected by the atmosphere into our line of sight. Because that occurs much more often for blue light than for red, the sky appears blue. Violet light is actually scattered even a bit more strongly than blue.
