Answer:

b) Gain or lose electrons

Explanation:

An ion is an electrically charged particle. For an atom to be charged, it must have gained or lost electron in the process and therefore, it becomes an ion.

The loss or gain of electrons is what makes an atom charged and eventually becomes an ion.

A positively charged ion is one that has lost an electron and it is called a cation. In such an ion, the number of electrons are lesser than those of protons. This is why they are cations

A negatively charged ion is one that has gained electrons. They are called anions. In such an ion, the number of electrons are greater than that of protons.

What trend does the first ionization energy follow, going down the periodic
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

C. The first ionization energy decreases because the outermost

electron is farther from the nucleus.

Explanation:

Ionization energy trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

Ionization energy trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

When should a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves be worn in the laboratory?
Sever21 [200]
I would say that you should wear a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves when the teacher says so - not everything in a lab is dangerous, so there is no need to always wear these. But when the teacher says you should - then you should.
