Hey there!

An ion is any atom with an electric charge. This can be negative or positive.

To see which one of these is an ion, first see what causes an electric charge. Positive charges are caused by protons. One proton = one positive. Negative charges are caused by electrons. One electron = one negative. Thus, when the number of protons and electrons are equal, this makes it so there is no overall charge. Thus, to make an ion, the number of protons and electrons must be unequal.

When we look at the answer choice, we can see that the number of protons and electrons are equal for every single choice except for choice b. Thus, your answer is b.

Hope this helps!

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Plants that adapted to the cooler conditions would survive and rapidly evolve into a  new species.

Explanation:

<em>The plants will react by evolving through natural selection.</em>

The plant species that do not have the genes to adapt to the rapid change in climate would become extinct while those with adaptive genes will survive, reproduce, and contribute rapidly to the development of future generations.

In other words, natural selection selects for individuals with adaptive genes and ensures that such individuals reproduce more and give rise to future generations with the adaptive gene while individuals that are poorly adapted to the change in climate gradually fade off the population.

Hence, <u>the plants that adapted to the cooler conditions would survive and rapidly evolve into new species</u>.

Explain the connection between earths magnetic field and iron
german
Magnetism is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.The Earth's magnetic field is somewhat caused by the composition of the earth's core which is rich in iron minerals. There is a solid inner core that is made of iron which makes up to 2/3 of the moon's size. The charged metal of the iron produces electric currents, consequently resulting to Earth's magnetic field.
