An ion is a charged particle that is formed when an atom gains electrons or an atom loses electrons.

First you need to know the definition of ion. An ion is a molecule or atom that has a positive or negative electrical charge. That is, an ion is an atom whose electric charge is not neutral. This charged particle can be positive or negative.  

Ionization is the chemical or physical process by which ions are produced. In this process, negatively charged ions are produced by gaining electrons and are known as anions. The positively charged are produced by the loss of electrons and are known as cations.

In summary, an ion is a charged particle that is formed when  an atom gains electrons or an atom loses electrons, and they are known as cations and anions respectively. The correct answer is both A and B.

How molecules react to an increase in temperature.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

An increase in temperature typically increases the rate of reaction. An increase in temperature will raise the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Therefore, a greater proportion of molecules will have the minimum energy necessary for an effective collision (Figure. 17.5 “Temperature and Reaction Rate”).

List the three subatomic particles. Give the relative masses and charges of each.Identify the type of bond(s) present in each of
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

relative charge = -1

Relative mass = 1.1836

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.

Properties of cathode ray:

The ray is travel in straight line.

The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.

When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.

Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Relative mass of proton= 1

Relative mass of neutron = 1

Relative mass of proton = +1

Relative charge of neutron = 0

The number of electron or number of protons are called atomic number while mass number of an atom is sum of protons and neutrons. The umber of protons and electrons are always equal to make the atom electrically neutral.

Which of the following elements will gain an electron to become an
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

F which is Flourine.

T = 2T , P = 2P as given in the question

Volume = mass *density

Now apply ideal gas law

PV=nRT

V = nRT/P

substitute value of V and P

V = nR2T/2P

V =nRT/P

mass*density = nRT/P

density will not change
