Answer:

Option d is correct = Negative ion

Explanation:

We know that an atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. Neutrons and protons are present inside the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus. Electron has a negative charge and is written as e⁻. The mass of electron is 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg . While mass of proton and neutron is 1.672623×10⁻²⁷Kg  and 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg  respectively.

Symbol of proton= P⁺  

Symbol of neutron= n⁰  

The number of electron or number of protons are called atomic number while mass number of an atom is sum of protons and neutrons. The  umber of protons and electrons are always equal to make the atom electrically neutral and when an atom loses its valance electron the number of protons increases and thus positive charge increased and atom form cation.

When an atom gain electron negative charge increase because of more number of electron thus atom form negative ion or anion. For example,

Anion formation:

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Cation formation:

X → X⁺ + e⁻

Thus option d is correct option.

Compare and contrast the ease at which molecules are able to move relative to each other in the three states of matter
ANTONII [103]
The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture. 

For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

answer the following: a. Explain how a pulley changes the amount of force needed to lift an object. b. do all pulleys change the
Natalija [7]
<span> If you want to lift something that weighs 100kg, you have to pull down with a force equivalent to 100kg, which is 1000N (newtons). I hope this helps, please mark brainiest if it does. I will attach a picture I found off the internet to further help you  :)
(There are like 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 other ways I could have put that, to make it sound less creepy, I could just edit it now instead of writing this huge thing... oh well lol)

A gas balloon has a volume of 106.0 liters when the temperature is 25.0 °C and the pressure is 740.0 mm Hg. What will its volume
ipn [44]

Answer : The final volume of gas will be, 103.3 L

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 740.0 mmHg  = 98.4 kPa

Conversion used : (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa)

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 99.3 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 106.0 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 25.0^oC=273+25.0=298K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 20.0^oC=273+20.0=293K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{98.4kPa\times 106.0L}{298K}=\frac{99.3kPa\times V_2}{293K}

V_2=103.3L

Therefore, the final volume of gas will be, 103.3 L
