Answer:

positive ion

Explanation:

Answer: Option (a) is correct.

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.

The most well-known biogenic d-elements
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Co, Mo

Explanation:

Biogenic elements are chemical elements constantly present in organisms and having definite biological significance(Bowen, 1966).

There are many of these biogenic elements in nature. Among the elements of the d-block, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Co, Mo are worthy of mention among others.

Free ions of d- block metals are not found in the body. The elements are present in the form of bioinorganic  complexes of the respective metals. They commonly exist as co-factors of proteins that carry out essential biological functions.

What are possible reasons for a percent yield that is under 100%
matrenka [14]

Answer:

              Percentage Yield is given as,

                 %age Yield  =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

This shows that the %age yield is directly depending upon the actual yield. And most of the time the percentage yield is less than 100 % because of the following factors.

Impure Starting Materials:

                                           If the starting materials (reactants) are not pure then reaction will not completely form the desired product. Different by products will form which will decrease the %age yield.

Incomplete Reactions:

                                     Not all reactions go to completion. In many reactions the starting material after some time stops forming the product due to different conditions. Some reactions attain equilibrium and stop increasing the amount of product. While, in some reactions a by products (like water) formed often react with the product to give a reverse reactions. Hence, the chemistry of reactions also causes the decrease in %age yield.

Handling:

               Another major reason for decrease in yield is handling the product. Always some of the product is lost during the workup of the reaction like, taking TLC, doing solvent extraction, doing column chromatography, taking characterization spectrums. So, we can conclude that the %age yield will always be less than 100%.

PLEASE HELP MEEE I WILL MARK BRAINLIST FOR THIS ITS SUPER SIMPLE....BUT U MUST TYPE EVERYTHING
Alina [70]

Answer:

Threatened Species: A threatened species is a species at risk but not yet endangered. California sea otters were classififed as a threatened species. Laws were passed to protect the otters and now they have increased their population size.

Invasive Species: One of the main causes of extinction and endangered species is the introduction of an exotic species. New exotic species are called invasive species. Invasive species can disrupt food chains, carry disease, prey on native species directly, and out-compete native species for limited resources, like food.

Extinction: If a population decreases too much in numbers, they disappear. Extinct species mean that the species has died out and no individuals left. An example of extinction: New Zealand was once home to a bird called the Giant Moa. Humans settled as their population increased the Moa population decreased. The species is now extinct.

How does the concentration of reactants affect the rate <br>of Chemical reaction? explain in short​
Neporo4naja [7]
Higher concentration of reactants equals faster rate of reaction. Reactions occur when particles collide effectively, and by increasing the concentration of reactants, you increase the number of effective collisions, thereby making the reaction occur faster.
