Physics
1 answer:
prisoha [69]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A positive ion is formed by the removal of electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms.

A negative ion is formed by the addition of electron(s) to an atom or group of atoms.

Explanation:

A positive ion, also known as cation is formed by the removal of electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms until there are fewer electrons than protons. It positive ion because it contains more proton than electron.

A negative ion, also known as anion is formed when an atom or group of atoms gains electron(s) until there are more electrons than protons. It negative ion because it contains more electron than proton.

What happens when white light shines onto a red filter?
Gnesinka [82]
The dye in between the two pieces of glass in the filter absorbs all the other colors in the white light except the red, and the red is the only light left to come out the other side. That's why the filter usually looks kind of red. It's also a big part of the reason why we call it a "red filter".
