Answer:

A cation has more protons than electrons, consequently giving it a net positive charge.

Answer:

A cation has more protons than electrons, making it a net positive charge as a result. One or two electrons must be lost in order for a cation to form, normally dragged away by atoms with a greater affinity for them The battery pumps electrons away from the anode and into the cathode . The positive anode draws anions to it while the adverse cathode draws cations to it.

Ronch [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The gas produced when sodium phosphide reacts with water is phosphine.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When sodium phosphide reacts with water molecule, it leads to the production of flammable, poisonous gas known as phosphine along with the production of sodium hydroxide.

The chemical reaction for the reaction of sodium phosphide with water follows the equation:

Na_3P(aq.)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow PH_3(g)+3NaOH(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sodium phosphide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 1 mole of phosphine gas and 3 moles of sodium hydroxide.

Hence, the gas produced when sodium phosphide reacts with water is phosphine.

Water is made of polar molecules, and oil is made of nonpolar molecules. Based on your observations, which molecules attract eac
victus00 [196]

Based on observation of polar and non-polar molecules, polar molecules would attract each other more strongly.

<h3>What are polar and non-polar molecules?</h3>

Polar molecules are those molecules that can ionize or dissociate into their respective positive and negative ions when in an aqueous solution.

Nonpolar molecules, on the other hand, are not ionic i.e. not dissociating into ions when dissolved in water.

Polar molecules like water (H2O) contains an uneven distribution of cations (+) and anions (-), hence, would be more attracted to one another than nonpolar molecules that have an even distribution of ions.
