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.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The desert refers to a region of arid land which is characterized by extreme temperatures, extreme dryness, low amount of precipitation and generally harsh living conditions. Because of these harsh conditions, they have been tagged with various names ranging from 'Death Valley' to 'the place from where there is no return' etc.

Every desert is made up of 2 components: the <u>biotic (living) component</u> and the <u>abiotic (non-living) component</u>. The biotic (living) component consists of the plants and animals that have adapted to these harsh living conditions e.g. Cactus or Cacti, Holly plants, Camels, Lizards, Snakes etc. The abiotic (non-living) component consists of climate (subtropical deserts which are extremely cold or temperate deserts which are extremely hot), location, precipitation/rainfall

How to solve 2=-log(x)

ch4aika [34]

First, you want to extract the negative from -log(x).

So now you have log(x) = -2

Now you have to use the property loga(x)=b is the same as x=a^2

So now, it is x = 10^-2. Remember that when there is just a log, it is implied that it is ‘a’ is 10.

Then you evaluate the negative square to 1/10^2

Answer is 1/100
