Answer:

If it loses 2 electrons, the net charge on the atom will be 2+

If the atom instead gains 4 electrons, the net charge will be 4-

Explanation:

It is based on adding and subtracting charges. Protons are +1 and electrons are -1

If the atom has 9 protons and 9 electrons, the net charge is +9 + (-9) = 0. The +9 is the 9 protons and the -9 is from the 9 electrons.

If two electrons are taken away, there would be 9-2 or 7 electrons with 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-7) = +2. +9 comes from the 9 electrons and -7 is from the 7 electrons.

So, if two electrons are taken away, the net charge is +2.

Similarly, if the atom gains 4 electrons, there will be 9+4 or 12 electrons and 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-12) = -4. +9 comes from the 9 protons and -12 comes from the 12 electrons.

So, if 4 electrons are added, the net charge is -4.

Precision relates to how close the answers are to each other, so I’d think it would be D because of the limited range between data points.

with salt distillation will work, heat the solution and collect the water in a seperate beaker

With sugar you do the same, boil away the water and collect the water vapour, you'll be left with sugar in the original container and water if you collected it

Use a fraction of column and heat the solution, the alcohol will be seperated out
