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.

O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}

When an oxygen atom gains two electrons it develops the charge of negative charge and forms anion.

You walk 20 meters north, then 5 meters south. what is your displacement?
Svetllana [295]
The answer is C. 15 meters North

Displacement is the distance and direction from the origin. If you move 20 meters North, your displacement is 20 meters North. If you move 5 meters South, you are basically moving back the way you came by 5 meters, which means you are now 15 meters North.
