Answer:

A Cation

Explanation:

When an element loses (or gives in) electrons in a chemical bond, the amount of protons overlaps the amount of electrons and it becomes an electrically positive system called a cation.

Cations may be monoatomic when formed by a single atom or polyatomic when formed by more than one atom.

In addition, the amount of electrons lost (or donated) indicates which type of cation is classified into monovalent (1+ charged), bivalent (2+ charged) or trivalent (3+ charged) cations.

Some examples of cations:

  • K⁺¹ (Potassium)
  • Zn⁺² (Zinc)
  • Al⁺³ (Aluminum)

What is the magnification power of the ocular lens
erica [24]

Magnification is defined as a measure of the ability of a lens or other optical device to magnify a certain image. The ability of a lens to measure size of an object and magnifies to a certain level is the known as a magnification of a lens.

The formula to measure the magnification power of a certain lens is the product of the objective and ocular lens magnification. For example, when using the lower power lens the total magnification is: 10X ocular x10X low power objective = 100X).

Astronomers studying the planet of Rhombus have detected sedimentary rock on its surface. One astronomer wonders if material in
Gwar [14]
Answer:
igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.
Explanation:
Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:
- igneous rock
- sedimentary rocks and
- metamorphic rocks.
Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:
- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.
- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.
Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps
