Answer: In factories they burn coal under a giant container(a really big gumbo pot pretty much). when the fire is hot enough it starts to boil. When it boils it creates steam and the steam blows on a fan that makes electricity.
Answer:
The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.
Explanation:
An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.
Yes. If this is the balanced equation:
AlCl3 + 3Na —— 3NaCl + Al
then Al was reduced from a 3+ oxidation (to neutralize the 3- from the chlorine) to a 0 oxidation (elemental ground state).
They have a full valence shell (8 electrons in the outer shell) so they are the most stable elements on the periodic table. Therefore, they do not need to react to other elements to gain or lose elections to become stable.
