Ion, any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges. Positively charged ions are called cations; negatively charged ions, anions. Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions; by combination of ions with other particles; or by rupture of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that both of the electrons of the bond are left in association with one of the formerly bonded atoms. Examples of these processes include the reaction of a sodium atom with a chlorine atom to form a sodium cation and a chloride anion; the addition of a hydrogen cation to an ammonia molecule to form an ammonium cation; and the dissociation of a water molecule to form a hydrogen cation and a hydroxide anion.

C. identify a set of four possible quantum numbers for the circled electron in manganese (mn). (there is more than one correct a
steposvetlana [31]
Although you have not provided the circled electron, I can help you with a wide explanation.

1) Atomic number of manganese is 25. That means that it has 25 protons and 25 electrons.

2) Those 25 electrons are distributed (electron configuration) as per the quantum rules:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁵

3) The most reasonable is that you have been asked to give the possible quantum numbers for an electron in the 4s or 3d.

4) Those are 7 electrons and these are their possible sets of quantum numbers:
i) For the two electrons in 4s: 
n is the main energy level so n = 4
l tells the kind of orbital, which is s, so l = 0
ml is also 0 (it can be from -l to + l, so given that l i s0, ml is 0)
ms: one is +/12 and the other is -1/2 (this is the spin number).


ii) For the 5 electrons in 3d

n = 3
l can be 0, 1, or 2
if l = 0, then ml = 0

if l = 1, then ml can be -1, 0 , or 1 (from - l to + l)


ms can be either +1/2 or - 1/2 (spin)
