Question: When an atom that has no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a:

A: positive ion.

B: negative ion.

C: positive isotope.

D: negative isotope.

Answer:

When an atom that has no change loses two electrons, it becomes "positive ion".

Explanation:

It is known that electrons hold a negative charge. So, when the negative charge that is electrons are taken out an atom then the number of electrons become less in number as compared to the number of protons. Hence, the atom attains a positive charge.An isotope is formed when an atom shows same number of protons and different number of neutrons. So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form.Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

Answer:

  the very long river

Explanation:

Larger rocks tend to settle out of the water flow sooner than smaller rocks do, so the rocks remaining at the end of a very long river would tend to be very small. A very short river may still be carrying somewhat larger rocks.

The very long river probably drops the smallest rock pieces near the ocean.

_____

Perhaps the implied assumption here is that a very short river will have a higher gradient than a very long river. Another assumption is that rocks are picked up nearer the headwaters, and the gradient decreases with distance.

If both rivers end at a waterfall into the ocean, they may very well carry the same sort of rock size distribution. If the short river traverses muddy terrain, and the longer river traverses rocky terrain, the answer may be reversed.
