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.

Why does the rate of the reaction decrease over time? Why does the rate of the reaction decrease over time? Exothermic reactions
fgiga [73]

Answer: The rate of the reaction decrease over time as the reaction proceeds, a decrease in the concentration of reactants results in fewer successful collisions.  

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the change in concentration of products and reactants with respect to time.

The rate of a reaction decreases with times because reactants are converting into products.

As a result, the reaction is proceeding with a decrease in the concentration of reactants due to which less number of collisions between the reactant molecules will be there.

Hence, rate of reaction will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that the rate of the reaction decrease over time as the reaction proceeds, a decrease in the concentration of reactants results in fewer successful collisions.

The average time it takes for a molecule to diffuse a distance of x cm is given by t=x^2/2D where t is the time in seconds and D
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

time to diffuse x cm is given by the relation

t = X² /2D

D = 5.7 x 10⁻⁷

t = X² / 2 x 5.7 x 10⁻⁷ = X² x 10⁷ / 11.4 s

X = 10 pm = 10 x 10⁻¹² m = 10 x 10⁻¹⁰ cm = 10⁻⁹ cm

t =( 10 ⁻⁹)² x 10⁷ / 11.4 = 10⁻¹¹ / 11.4 = 8.77 x 10⁻¹³ s

Select all the words that describe what the elements have in common if they are located on the same PERIOD.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Orbitals

Shells

Energy Levels

Explanation:

Elements in the same period will have the same energy levels which is the same as orbitals and shells.

  • The period of an element indicates the energy level in an atom.
  • Elements in period 1 will have one energy level or shell or orbitals.
  • Down a group this is not the case.
  • The energy level increases from top to bottom.
  • As we go down the group, we are transiting from one period to another.
