Answer:
b) Gain or lose electrons
Explanation:
An ion is an electrically charged particle. For an atom to be charged, it must have gained or lost electron in the process and therefore, it becomes an ion.
The loss or gain of electrons is what makes an atom charged and eventually becomes an ion.
A positively charged ion is one that has lost an electron and it is called a cation. In such an ion, the number of electrons are lesser than those of protons. This is why they are cations
A negatively charged ion is one that has gained electrons. They are called anions. In such an ion, the number of electrons are greater than that of protons.
Answer:
The molarity of a solution is 2.5 M
Explanation:
Molarity is a concentration unit that describes how much of a solution is dissolved in solution.
Molarity of a solution can found by using the formula,
Molarity (M) = (moles of solute)/(Liters of Solution).
Given, mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.
Volume of water = 2 L.
Here, Sodium is solute as it is dissolved in water, which is the solvent.
Moles of Sodium(solute) can be found by using the formula,
Number of Moles = mass/Molecular weight.
mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.
Molecular weight = 22.989 grams
Number of Moles of Sodium(solute) =114.95/22.989 = 5.
Substituting the values in the formula, we get,
M = 5/2 = 2.5 M
I believe it is because, Lead has a higher boiling point than zinc. by the time Lead melts and becomes a liquid, the temperature is way higher than the boiling point of Zinc therefore, Zinc becomes a gas.
