Alpha particles are released by high mass, proton rich unstable nuclei. The alpha particle is a helium nucleus; it consists of two protons and two neutrons. It contains no electrons to balance the two positively charged protons. Alpha particles are therefore positively charged particles moving at high speeds.
The balance chemical equation is follow,
2 I⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + 4 H⁺ → I₂ + SO₂ + 2 H₂O
According to this reaction, 2 moles of I⁻ reacts with 1 mole of SO₄²⁻ to produce 1 mole of I₂ and 1 mole of SO₂.
Result:
So with the formation of 1 mole of I₂, 1 mole of SO₂ is produced.
Answer:
C) cation, loses, anion, gains
Explanation:
Lithium is a metal from Group 1, so it has 1 valence electron. Thus, it loses 1 electron to complete its octet and form the cation Li⁺.
Oxygen is a nonmetal from Group 16, so it has 6 valence electrons. Thus, it gains 2 electrons to complete its octet and form the anion O²⁻.
In the reaction between Li and O, there is a transfer of electrons making an ionic bond. In the bond, lithium would be a cation because it loses an electron, and oxygen would be an anion because it gains 2 electrons.
