The number of protons, neutrons and electrons an atom has determines what element it is. Hydrogen, for example, has one proton, no neutrons and one electron; the element sulfur has 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons.

Only the number of protons determine the type of atom. Elements can have more or less neutrons and electrons and still be the same general type of element.

What is an ionic solution and how does it work in a battery?

frutty [35]

Explanation:

An ionic solution is a solution that has anions and cations. This is formed when ionic compounds dissociate in water. The ionic solution can be used as a battery because their respective ions can be attracted to either node of a battery. The cathode (+) attracts anions (negatively charged ions) and the anode (-) attracted cations (positively-charged ions). The reaction between the nodes and the respective ions in the solution causes electrons do be either donated or received. This ensures that the ionic solution (electrolyte) acts as channels for transport of electrons across the nodes to complete a circuit.
