Answer:

The answer is the letter A.

Explanation:

It is letter A because of Chlorine needs an electron to have a full shell. So, it will receive a negative one because it is gaining an electron. Potassium lost an electron because the element has to share the electron with Chlorine to balance its properties.

What does a base release when it is placed in water?

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

D - Hydroxide Ion (OH-)

Explanation:

A base provides either hydroxide ions (OH–) or other negatively charged ions that combine with hydrogen ions, reducing their concentration in the solution and thereby raising the pH. In cases where the base releases hydroxide ions, these ions bind to free hydrogen ions, generating new water molecules.
