Answer:Number of electrons that are present in an atom is determined by the electronic configuration of that atom.
If an ion is carrying a positive charge, it means that the atom has lost electrons and if an ion is carrying a negative charge, it means that the atom has gained electrons.
For the given options:
Option A: The atomic number of hydrogen atom is 1 and the electronic configuration for ion will be:
Thus, this atom does not have any electrons.
Option B: The atomic number of bromine atom is 35 and the electronic configuration for ion will be:
Thus, this atom has 36 electrons.
Option C: The atomic number of aluminium atom is 13 and the electronic configuration for ion will be:
Explanation:
Electron

Heat energy is required.
In distillation, the solution is first heated, where heat energy is required, such as using a bunsen burner.
When the solution is heated, the water may reach its boiling point and evaporate. However, salt does not. When water molecules evaporates, it travels through a condenser that cools it down into liquid again. Therefore we get pure water. Salt is also obtained in the original beaker.
Therefore to first start this process, heat energy is required.
