Depending on what the original charge of the atom is, when an e- is added, that charge will drop by one. If an atom loses an e- the charge will be one higher.

Answer:

Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero. The atom is then said to be electrically charged, or "ionized". There is a major difference between the neutral state and the ionized state. In the neutral state, an atom has little electromagnetic attraction to other atoms. Note that the electric field of a neutral atom is weak, but is not exactly zero because the atom is not a point particle. If another atom gets close enough to the atom, they may begin to share electrons. Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

(b) in what way are carbon dioxide and orange juice similar?​
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The effects of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) on the microbiological, sensory (taste, odour, and colour), nutritional (vitamin C content), and physical (cloud, total acidity, pH, and °Brix) qualities of orange juice were studied. The CO2 treatment was performed in a 1 litre capacity double-walled reactor equipped with a magnetic stirring system. Freshly extracted orange juice was treated with supercritical CO2, pasteurised at 90°C, or left untreated. There were no significant differences in the sensory attributes and physical qualities between the CO2 treated juice and freshly extracted juice. The CO2 treated juice retained 88% of its vitamin C, while the pasteurised juice was notably different from the fresh juice and preserved only 57% of its vitamin C content. After 8 weeks of storage at 4°C, there was no microbial growth in the CO2 treated juice.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
