Explanation:
In a magnetic field, the radius of the charged particle is as follows.
r =
where, m = mass, v = velocity
q = charge, B = magnetic field
Therefore, q will be calculated as follows.
q =
=
=
=
= +2e
Thus, we can conclude that the charge of the ionized atom is +2e.
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that metals are the species which readily lose an electron and tend to attain a positive charge.
For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 and its is an alkali metal. It electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.
And, in order to attain stability it readily loses an electron and thus it become ion.
Also, it is known that species which tend to transfer or donate their valence electrons to other atoms tend to form ionic bond and the compound formed is known as ionic compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that the statement metal atoms held together by ionic bonds best describes a metal solid.
