Answer:

The correct option is oxide ion

Explanation:

In the periodic table, elements (other than noble gases) tend to achieve there duplet/octet electron configuration (having a completely filled outermost shell) by either donating or accepting electrons. Generally, metals donate electrons to become positively charged cations while non-metals accept electrons to become negatively charged anions.

Oxygen accepts two electrons in order to have a fully filled outermost shell and become O²⁻ or oxide ion. Oxygen itself is an element and it's ion is called oxide ion

Oxide ion. because oxsgen has 6 electrons in its orbit or subshell, so it needs only two to achieve the octet rule by gaining 2 electrons. Gaining electrons means that the element become an anion ion

the radius of the Sun is approximately 696,000 kilometers, while bacterial cells are as small as 1.9 × 10-4 millimeters. Express
Mazyrski [523]

Explanation;

Writing scientific notation :

  • Move the decimal to the left side until single digit of number remains before the decimal.
  • Then we will count the number of times we moved the decimal. Write this number as the exponential power of number '10'.
  • For Example: 2894.55=2.89455\times 10^{3}

Radius of the sun = 696,000.0 kilometer

1 km=10^3 m

Radius of the sun can also be written as = 6.96\times 10^{5} km=6.96\times 10^{5}\times 10^3 m=6.96\times 10^{8} meter

Size of bacterial cell = 1.9\times 10^{-4} millimeter

1 mm=1\times 10^{-3} m

Size of bacterial cell can also be written as = 1.9\times 10^{-4}\times 10^{-3} m=1.9\times 10^{-7} meter

Explain how lithium atom is positive charge​
yulyashka [42]
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!

Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!
