Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.
The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.
In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

Answer:
subatomic particles are smaller then atoms
Answer:
Gas
Increase the pressure
Explanation:
Let's refer to the attached phase diagram for CO₂ (not to scale).
<em>At -57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase?</em>
If we look at the intersection between -57°C and 1 atm, we can see that CO₂ is in the gas phase.
<em>At 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is in the gas phase. From these conditions, how could the gaseous CO₂ be converted into liquid CO₂?</em>
Since at 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is below the triple point, the only way to convert it into liquid is by increasing the pressure (moving up in the vertical direction).
Answer:
Ionic
Explanation: Ionic compounds tend to be hard and brittle while covalent compounds tend to be softer and more flexible.
