Answer:

Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells. When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

aleksklad [387]

A characteristic which helps an animal to live longer will generally tend to become more common in the population because as the animal produces more offspring those traits are passed down to them. Eventually it will be a common characteristic in the population.

Hope that helped :)

Does this equation obey the law of conservation of mass: 2Z + 2HCI ➡️ ZnCI2 + H2​
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

2Zn + 2HCI ➡️ ZnCI2 + H2​

LHS of equation

Z = 2

H = 2

Cl = 2

RHS of equation

Zn = 1

Cl =2

H =2

as Zn is not equal in number of atoms on both sides of the equation, the equation does not obey the law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

the law of conservation mass states that the mass of an isolated system cannot be created nor destroyed by any chemical reaction or physical transformation. thus, there must be an equal number of atoms of an element present on both sides of the equation.
