The loss or gain of electrons
Explanation:
The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.
A cation is a positively charge ion
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:
Protons are the positively charged particles
Electrons are negatively charged
Neutrons carry no charges
Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.
When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.
When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.

1) 2
2) 2
3) there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen, altogether is 3
4) subscript tells how many atoms of each element are present in the molecule
5) No, it is not balanced because the oxygen atom is not equal on both sides of the reactants and products. This wouldn’t be considered balanced as there are two oxygen atoms in the reactants section and only one oxygen on the products section.
It is:
2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O
Answer:
John Dalton
Explanation:
Both John Dalton and Democritus thought that the atom was an indivisible sphere until J.J. Thompson came out with the plum pudding model. Hope I helped!
Explanation:
Since mole ratio of O2 : NH3 = 7 : 4,
Volume of NH3 = 50dm³ * 4/7 = 28.57dm³.
