An oxygen atom picks up two additional, free floating electrons. Is the charge of the newly formed oxygen ion positive, negative
2 answers:
Answer:The newly formed oxygen ion is negatively charged.
Explanation:
Cation : These are species of ions which carries positive charge that is number of protons are greater than the number of electrons.
Anion:These are species of ions which carries negative charge that is number of electrons are greater than the number of protons.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons it develops the charge of negative charge and forms anion.

The correct answer is Destructive Interference.
Consider the image attached below. Two waves are travelling towards each other. Blue wave always has a positive peak and the red wave always has a negative peak.
Now imagine these waves are moving through a rope. If blue waves will try to move the rope in positive direction, the red wave will pull it down, and thus the two waves will cancel the effect of each other. Thus resulting in a destructive interference.
