An atom with 9 protons and 8 electrons is what kind of atom?

Biology
1 answer:
Reika [66]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B. A cation

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible component of a matter including an element. An atom contains three particles called SUBATOMIC PARTICLES (PROTON AND NEITRON in the nucleus and ELECTRON surrounding the nucleus). The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged.

The number of protons and electrons determine whether an atom will be postively charged (cation) or negatively charged (anion). In this question, an atom with 9 protons and 8 electrons will be A CATION because the protons (9) are more than the electrons (8), hence, making it a positively charged atom (cation).

N.B: The cation atom will have a +1 charge

Finger [1]

Red tide is a common name for algal blooms, which are large concentrations of aquatic microorganisms, such as protozoans and unicellular algae (e.g. dinoflagellates and diatoms). The upwelling of nutrients from the sea floor, often following massive storms, provides for the algae and triggers bloom events.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The addition of a chromosome in an egg cell.

Mutation may be defined as sudden, heritable change in the DNA sequences. The mutation may be caused during the DNA replication or may be caused by the environmental factors.

The mutation that occurs in the gametic cells may pass down from parents to their offspring. The addition of an extra chromosome in egg cell will be inherited in the next generation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
