Answer:

b. Sn2+; cation; tin(II) ion

Explanation:

Atoms of elements can either lose or gain electrons to become charged atoms i.e ions. An atom that loses electrons to become positively charged is called a CATION while one that gains electrons to become negatively charged is called an ANION.

In this case, tin element (Sn) loses 2 electrons to become positively charged with a charge number of 2 i.e Sn2+. Since it is a positively charged ion, it is called a CATION and named Tin (II) ion.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Volcanic gases. (Ans A)

Explanation:

Ocean water is salty because of the presence of dissolved salt. When water contact with a rock it starts weathering processes and this process starts to dissolve the soluble elements such as sodium out of the rock.

In volcanic gases, lots of chlorine ions are present in the atmosphere, these ions easily dissolve with water and produce the large flux of chloride that splashes into the oceans. So, the most common source of chloride ions in ocean waters comes from the volcanic explosions.

Glacial episodes are an example of _______. a. positive feedback b. negative feedback c. the “Daisy model” d. the Gaia hypothesi
morpeh [17]
<span>This is a positive feedback. These episodes make the next glacial period even more severe and long-lasting than the one prior. This is due to the reflectance of the surface of the land having a positive relationship with how much energy is absorbed: as the reflectance increases, absorption decreases, and the glacial period increases in severity.</span>
