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.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

When corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or nutrients, they expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. Warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching.

How many grams of magnesium nitride is required to produce 25.00 g of magnesium hydroxide?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

25 grams of Mg(OH)2 will be produced by 14.424 gram of Mg3N2

Explanation:

The balanced equation is

Mg3N2 + 6H2O -> 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3

Molecular weight of magnesium nitride = 100.9494 g/mol

Molecular weight of magnesium hydroxide = 58.3197 g/mol

one mole of Mg3N2 produces three moles of 3Mg(OH)2

100.9494 g/mol of  Mg3N2 produces 3* 58.3197 g/mol of Mg(OH)2

1 gram of Mg3N2 produces

\frac{3* 58.3197}{100.9494 } \\1.733grams of Mg(OH)2

Or 1.733 grams of Mg(OH)2 will be produced by 1 gram of Mg3N2

25 grams of Mg(OH)2 will be produced by 14.424 gram of Mg3N2

Why do atoms gain or lose electrons?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.

What can you conclude about these two reactions based on the chemical equations? Reaction A: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + sunlight ? C6H1
OlgaM077 [116]

Given reactions:

(A)   6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + sunlight → C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)

(B)  2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + energy

Exothermic reactions are those which proceed with the release of heat/energy. In contrast, endothermic reactions proceed with the absorption of energy in the form of heat or light.

Since reaction A required sunlight, it is endothermic. Reaction B releases energy, hence exothermic

Ans: (B)

A is endothermic

B is exothermic
