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!

Which of the following are compounds? (Choose all that apply.)
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Water, organic biological molecules, sodium chloride, glucose.

Explanation:

A compound is anything composed of two or more separate elements.

  • O2 and H2 are a singular elements, and a chain of carbon atoms is multiple of the same element, so these are not considered compounds.
  • Sodium chloride is sodium and chlorine, and water is oxygen and hydrogen. Glucose is a compound of sugar, and organic biological (or biomolecules) are made up of carbon and hydrogen, so these are all considered compounds

I hope this helps! Happy learning, friend :)

The decay of uranium isotopes is used to provide information about the age of Earth.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Isotopes of Uranium U-232, U-233 , U-234 , U-235 , U-236 , U-238 are used as fuel in nuclear reactors or as explosives for nuclear weapons. Uranium 238 is not very radioactive and it constitutes for nearly 99.3% of natural uranium on Earth and has the longest lifetime: its period is 4.5 billion years, about the age of Earth.

Use of radiometric dating techniques help in defining the age of substances (natural or man-made) using the known decay rates of radioactive elements. Each element has an  individual decay rate and half life time.

Two Uranium isotopes (U-238 and U-235) are used for radiometric dating. Both the isotopes have different decay rates and half life period. Both are unstable and radioactive. Since two different isotopes produce two different decay clocks (one as a reference to other), it is beneficial in accurately determining the age of samples. The age of earth (rocks or other natural elements) can be easily determined using Uranium isotopes.
