4 0

Explanation:

When an atom is neutral then number of protons equal number of electrons. Therefore, a neutral atom with 4 protons and 4 neutrons will also have 4 electrons.

It is known that when an atom gain electrons then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom loses electrons then it acquires a positive charge.

Therefore, when the given neutral atom gains 2 electrons then it will acquire a negative charge.

Which of the following happens when chlorine forms an ion?
Jlenok [28]

What  happens  when  chlorine  form  an ion  is that  it gains an electron and  has  an octet  in its  outer shell  ( answer  A)


<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>Chlorine is  is in atomic  number  17  in periodic table.

The electron configuration  of chlorine  is    1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P5   or[Ne]3S2 3p5  or  2.8.7.

chlorine therefore  has 7 valence electron therefore it  gain  1 electron  to form Cl- ( ion)

Cl- has  8  electron in its outer  shell (  it  obeys  octet  rule  of eight valence in outer shell.

the amount of water on Earth is _______but the form and location of the water _______ as it moves through the hydrologic cycle
Lorico [155]

Hey there!

I can't be sure my answers are the exact words, but it should be something along the lines of...

The amount of water on Earth is constant, but the form and location of the water changes as it moves through the water cycle.

This means that Earth has always had the same amount of water within in, along with it being the same water the whole time. No new water was introduced to our planet. Some of our water is liquid, some is solid, and some is gas. Some is deep in the soil and some is high up in the atmosphere. Some is in rain and some is in snow.

I hope this helps!
