<h2>Answer: It becomes an Ion </h2>

When an atom has gained or lost electrons (negative charge), it becomes an ion.

In this sense:

<h2>Ions are atoms that have <u>gained or lost</u> electrons in their electronic cortex. </h2><h2> </h2>

If a neutral atom <u>loses electrons</u>, it remains with an excess of positive charge and transforms into a positive ion or <u>cation</u>, whereas if a neutral atom <u>gains electrons</u>, it acquires an excess of negative charge and transforms into a negative ion or <u>anion</u>.

It is then how ions form bonds with other atoms differently depending on the number of electrons they have.

Answer:

Energy conservation.

Explanation:

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a statement about energy conservation. It states that $\Delta U=Q-W$ , which means that if we <u>substract the work W done</u> by the system to the <u>heat Q given</u> to the system we get the <u>change in the internal energy</u> $\Delta U$ , so any excess in energy given to the system appears as internal energy, stating that energy is conserved.

Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula

saul85 [17]

<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.

Hope it helped
