How a cation is formed by an atom?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
fenix001 [56]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed

The reaction h2co3 h2o&lt;-&gt; h3o hco3– takes place in water. what happens to the equilibrium when the pressure is increased?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. When the the pressure is increased, the equilibrium of the reaction would favor <span>formation of reactants. One indication would be the gas that is present in the product side. Increasing the pressure would allow the products to react and form the reactants. Hope this helps.</span>

An ionic bond is a bond between ____.
exis [7]

An ionic bond is a bond which occurs when there is a difference in the electronegativity of the atoms. One atom which has a stronger electronegativity tends to steal the electron of the other less electronegative atom hence making it more negative (anion), while the other becomes a cation. So answer is:
