Explanation:
Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.
Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.
Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.
A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.
The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.
Group 1 = 1
Group 2 = 2
Group 17 = 7
Group 18 = 8
Option E, Real gas particles have more complex interactions than ideal gas particles.
In ideal gases, there is absolutely no interaction between any atoms. At all. Atoms simply don't bump into each other in ideal gases.
Obviously, you know that's unrealistic. In real gases, atoms collide into each other all the time.
-T.B.
Infection control is the discipline concerned with preventing nosocomial or healthcare-associated infection, a practical (rather than academic) sub-discipline of epidemiology. It is an essential, though often underrecognized and undersupported, part of the infrastructure of health care. Infection control and hospital epidemiology are akin to public health practice, practiced within the confines of a particular health-care delivery system rather than directed at society as a whole. Anti-infective agents include antibiotics, antibacterials, antifungals, antivirals and antiprotozoals.[1]
Infection control addresses factors related to the spread of infections within the healthcare setting (whether patient-to-patient, from patients to staff and from staff to patients, or among-staff), including prevention (via hand hygiene/hand washing, cleaning/disinfection/sterilization, vaccination, surveillance), monitoring/investigation of demonstrated or suspected spread of infection within a particular health-care setting (surveillance and outbreak investigation), and management (interruption of outbreaks). It is on this basis that the common title being adopted within health care is "infection prevention and control." (got from google
