An ion is a charged particle that is formed when an atom gains electrons or an atom loses electrons.
First you need to know the definition of ion. An ion is a molecule or atom that has a positive or negative electrical charge. That is, an ion is an atom whose electric charge is not neutral. This charged particle can be positive or negative.
Ionization is the chemical or physical process by which ions are produced. In this process, negatively charged ions are produced by gaining electrons and are known as anions. The positively charged are produced by the loss of electrons and are known as cations.
In summary, an ion is a charged particle that is formed when an atom gains electrons or an atom loses electrons, and they are known as cations and anions respectively. The correct answer is both A and B.
Answer:
Calcium nitrate is soluble in water and dissociate into ions whereas calcium carbonate is insoluble and water and do not form ions.
Explanation:
An electrolyte is a substance which conducts electricity in molten form or when dissolved in water.
The ability of an electrolyte to conduct electricity is due the movement of charged particles called ions. The ions are of two types: negatively charged ions called anions and positively charged ions called cations.
Calcium nitrate is a soluble in water, and when dissolved in water produces two ions; negatively charged nitrate ions,NO₃⁻, and positively charged calcium ions, Ca²⁺. These ions enable it to conduct electricity.
Calcium carbonate on the other hand is insoluble in water, and thus, do not produces any ions capable of carrying current.
You didn't give options but seedless vascular plants are plants that contain vascular tissue, but do not produce flowers or seeds so for example ferns and horsetails
