The overall charge of an atom is positive if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. Electrons are negatively charged particles while protons are positively charged particles. If there are less electrons as compared to the number of protons in an atom, then naturally the overall charge of the atom would be positive since there are excess protons. Another case would be that the overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. An atom having more electrons than the number of the protons present would lead to a negative value of the charge since there are excess electrons.
Answer: Exothermic reaction
Explanation:
Exothermic reactions lose energy, or ΔH, when they react.
- See charge on ion is -1 .
Hence it has taken 1 electron
Now first look at EC of Fluorine(F)
- Now one electron added .hence no of electrons is 10now
Look at the EC
Or
![\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow [He]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5C%20%5Cbull%5Csf%5Cdashrightarrow%20%5BHe%5D)
Option C is correct.
