Answer:
Explanation:
Groundwater is stored in the open spaces within rocks and within unconsolidated sediments. Rocks and sediments near the surface are under less pressure than those at significant depth and therefore tend to have more open space. For this reason, and because it’s expensive to drill deep wells, most of the groundwater that is accessed by individual users is within the first 100 m of the surface. Some municipal, agricultural, and industrial groundwater users get their water from greater depth, but deeper groundwater tends to be of lower quality than shallow groundwater, so there is a limit as to how deep we can go.
The atom<span> then has more protons than electrons and so it will be positively charged, a positive </span>ion<span>. Example: A </span>magnesium atom<span> may lose two electrons and </span>become<span> a Mg2+ </span>ion<span>. Non-metal </span>atoms<span> may gain electrons and </span>become<span> negatively charged. ... (It loses two electrons.)</span>
