Metal usually donates electrons. The concept behind this phenomenon is stability. The elements with the most stable electronic configuration are the noble gases in Group 5A. As a result, the other elements donate or accept electrons so that they would be like the noble gases. Since metals are past their nearest noble gas element, they have to shed their electrons. When they do, they become cations which are positively charged ions.
Electrons hold a negative charge, and anion refers to a negatively charged atom.
The answer is anion. Here's a way to help remember:
Cats have paws, and cations are "paws"itive (positive).
Answer:. In the case of neon, it is electrical energy that pulls the electrons off.
explanation-Plasma can be made from a gas if a lot of energy is pushed into the gas. In the case of neon, it is electrical energy that pulls the electrons off. When it is time to become a gas again, just flip the neon light switch off. Without the electricity to energize the atoms, the neon plasma returns to its gaseous state.
Answer:
3.6 times 10^4
Explanation:
Scientific notation is between 1-9. So, we move 36000 to 4 decimal places. SO it would be 3.6 times 10^4. Scientific Notation always has the base of 10 . Enjoy :)
Answer: D
Explanation: I got it wrong on my test :( and got this answer as correct.
