The definition of solvent is "having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts" or "able to dissolve other substances". Solvent is another way of debt-free or creditworthy. The definition of solvent is "having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts" or "able to dissolve other substances". Solvent, in science terms, is a substance in which dissolves a liquid/solute like: a chemical of distant liquid, solid, or gas. Solvent is another way of debt-free or creditworthy. In Latin, Solvent is called "solvō" which means "I loosen, untie, I solve". "Solvent uses many chemicals using: pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries which involve chemical syntheses and purification processes."  The most common solvent is water for polar molecules.

My sources were Wikapedia and goggle.
Hope this helped! I have a definition and synonyms for "Solvent". =)

A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "I loosen, untie, I solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid or a gas. The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature. Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g., tetrachloroethylene), as paint thinners (e.g., toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate), in spot removers (e.g., hexane, petrol ether), in detergents (citrus terpenes) and in perfumes (ethanol). Water is a solvent for polar molecules and the most common solvent used by living things; all the ions and proteins in a cell are dissolved in water within a cell. Solvents find various applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries, including in chemical syntheses and purification processes.

How does an atom become a positively charged ion
sladkih [1.3K]
When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

Answer: gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force

Explanation:

According to the postulates of  kinetic molecular theory:

1. The pressure exerted by a gas in a container results from collisions between the gas molecules and the container walls.

2. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas.

When the temperature is increased, so the average kinetic energy and the rms speed also increase. This means that the gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force because they are all moving faster. This increase the pressure.
