The answer is D. What makes a neutral atom neutral is that it has an even number of protons and neutrons. If the number of protons and neutrons are unbalanced, it is now an ion.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

An ion is created because an atom doesn't have a balanced number of protons and electrons. A positive ion is created by an atom losing an electron and a negative ion is created by an atom gaining an electron.

How do differences in temperature effect air masses?
laiz [17]

Answer:

The difference in temperature causes differences in air pressure between the two spots. ... This causes the jet stream to dip farther south and the winds to blow stronger on either side of the jet stream in winter. The jet stream separates the very cold air mass at higher latitudes from the warmer air mass equatorward.

How does the crystalline structure of a metal differ from the structure of an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride or cesium
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The metal cube lattice is made of only one kind of atom.

Explanation:

As we know that metallic crystals are made up of only one kind of element.  A metal crystal is actually a huge sea of positive charges embedded in the layers of negative charges (electrons). The whole crystal is made up of same kind of atoms, e.g crystals of gold, crystals of iron.

If we talk about structure of metallic crystal, it can be body centered cubic, simple cubic, hexagonal or close cubic packing.

Now, coming towards the ionic crystals, we know that they are basically the crystals of ionic compounds like sodium chloride or cesium chloride. These crystals are formed due to ionic bonding between two or more than two kinds of elements/atoms. It is not possible for an ionic crystal to be composed of only one kind of atom. As far as structure is concerned, they can have different structure based on bonding between atoms in an ionic compound, e.g NaCl has octahedral geometry.

Therefore, it is very evident that best option is A.
