Question

The table shows the number of charged subatomic particles in an ion.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ion will repel the substance because it has lost two electrons.

Explanation:

An ion is a charged specie. We can see from the question that the ion has twelve positive and ten negative particles.

If there are more positive particles than negative particles, then the ion is positively charged.

If the ion is positively charged, it will repel another positively charged particle because like charges repel while opposite charges attract.
