Answer:

negative ion

Explanation:

An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a negative ion.

The positively charged particles in an atom are the protons

The negatively charged particles in an atom are the electrons.

  The charge an atom carries depends on the balance between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

  • When the number of protons is more than the number of electrons, the atom is positively charged.
  • When the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the atom is negatively charged.

Tems11 [23]
When we first dig into soil, it's nice and soft.( Depending on what soil it is; usually topsoil) 

But when we go deeper into it, there are rocks and the soil is harder. There is bedrock at the bottom, subsoil in the middle, and topsoil at the top, which is where we walk.

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons  = 8

Number of neutrons  = 9

Number of electrons  = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

 For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

     Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

      Charge  =  8  - 10  = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

 The ion is O²⁻

What is dark energy?
expeople1 [14]
Dark energy is a theoretical repulsive energy that causes the acceleration to the expansion of the universe. Among the choices, the nearest answer would be D. Dark energy can also be defined as a new form of energy, that is a dynamic field that fills up space but has an effect opposite to that of normal energy.
