Reika [66]3 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

HURRYY!!<br><br> Why have American's portion sizes become larger in the last decade?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

American's portion sizes have become larger in the last decade due to the expanding of food industries and marketing campaigns that tell us to eat more.

Explanation:

The growth of food industries in the last decades to obtain more money in combination with the media influence has led us to eat more, thus why the size of our portions has increased their size.

Another theory states that people always want to eat more, and the industry has only fulfilled this demand, but it is not clear why, in the past, this did not happen.
