An atom becomes an Ion (a) if it gains one or more electron(s) or (b) if it loses one or more electron(s). When it gains electrons it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When it loses electron(s) it becomes positively charged and is called a cation.

Light travels extremely rapidly (c = 3.00×108 m/s ). Suppose you had to travel 40 miles to work every day. If you traveled at th
Reptile [31]
Given , Speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s 
             Distance = 40 × 1.61× 1000 m 
                           = 264400 m
 We know that, speed = distance/time 
                   so, time = distance/speed
                             t = 264400 / 3 × 10⁸
                             t = 0.00881333 sec  Approx
The answer is 0.00881333 sec  Approx

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

H+  ----- Br-

H+  ----- Cl-

O₋₋ -----2H++

CH3 ----- O-   ------ H+

Explanation:

Dipole moment occurs when there is bonding between a very strong electronegative element and hydrogen atom.

Electronegative elements are the element which attract electrons towards themselves, (that is they have strong affinity for electrons).

Generally, group 7 elements (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine) of the periodic table are highly electronegative
