when an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes an ion. Ions formed by the loss of an electron have a positive charge, and those formed by gaining an electron have a negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
An alpha particle is a particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons. (Third option)

<h3>Explanation</h3>
Hydrogen is in group 1. It is one electron away from the next noble gas element. It would form one single covalent bond when it bonds to nonmetals.
A nonmetal atom will gain three extra electrons when it bonds to three hydrogen atoms. For the molecule to be stable, that nonmetal atom should be three electrons away from the next noble gas element. Each of the atoms in question should contain 8 - 3 = 5 valence electrons when neutral. Which column on a periodic table contains such elements?
Answer:
false
Explanation:
the temperature of a substance can not remain constant as the substance changes from solid to liquid then finllay from liquid to gas. This is so because as a solid is heated it changes state and once it rechanges it boiling point it changes to gas or vapour.
