Answer:

B) an anion

Explanation:

During bonding atoms may share electron or give out electron . In the case of electrovalent or ionic bonding, electron(s) is/are transferred from one atom to another . The atom that donate the electron are known as donor atom and the atom that receives the electron are known as receivers.

The atom that donate the electron becomes a cation(positively charged) as it lose it electron(s) while the receiver gains electron to become an anion which is a negatively charge ion.  

An example of such interaction is between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom.  The Na atom lose it electron to become positively charged(cation) while the chlorine atom gains electron to become negatively charged(anion). Both atom bond together losing and gaining electron to fulfill the octet rule.

Na+  +  Cl-   → NaCl

Sergio [31]

Answer:

You are moving because the Earth and everything in our solar system is constantly moving. ... As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. The Earth's path around the Sun is called its orbit. It takes the Earth one year, or 365 1/4 days, to completely orbit the Sun.

Explain how our body systems work together to get oxygen into and around our body.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:  (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) T

b) T

c) F

d) F

e) T

f) T

g) T

h) F

I) F

j) F

k) F

l) F

Explanation:

The w/v concentration is obtained from, mass/volume. Hence;

%w/v= 50/1000= 5%

In the %w/w we have;

25g/100 g = 25% w/w

In combustion reaction, energy is given out hence it is exothermic.

Neutralization reaction yields a salt and water

% by mass of carbon is obtained from;

8× 12/114 × 100 = 84.1%

All the ionic substances mentioned have very low solubility in water.

One mole of a substance contains the Avogadro's number of each atom in the compound.

There are two iron atoms so one mole contains 2× 55.85 g of iron.

Some sulphates such as BaSO4 are insoluble in water.

Halides are soluble in water hence NaI is soluble in water.

The equation does not balance with the given coefficients because the number of atoms of each element on both sides differ.

The equation represents a decomposition of calcium carbonate as written.
