<span>When a strontium atom loses two electrons, it becomes a(n) cation with a charge of 2+.
when any neutral atom loses an electron it becomes cation that is positively charged ions and an ion gets the charge according to the number of electrons loses. And if an atom gains an electron it becomes anion that is negatively charged ions.</span>
Answer:
Oxidation is the loss of electrons, that is, addition of electronegetive elements, example is addition of oxygen. Also, removal of electropositive elements, example is removal of hydrogen.
Explanation: a) In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burns in air, which gives the following chemical equation:
C3H8 + 5O2⇒ 3CO2 + 4H2O +Heat
b) When insufficient oxygen or too much oxygen is present for complete combustion, the following equation is given:
2C3H8 + 9O2 ⇒ 4CO2 + 2CO + 8H2O + Heat
c) At the anode( negative terminal): O∧2- ⇒ O + e
Oxygen accepts electron.
d) At cathode ( positive terminal): H∧+ + e∧- ⇒ H
Hydrogen donates electron
d) Nernst equation for reversal potential is given as follows:
E= RT/zF In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}= 2.303 RT/zF In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}
