The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
<span>These values also increase from the
bottom to the top of a group because the size of the atom decreases, resulting
in a smaller distance between the nucleus and the valence electron shell, which
increases the attraction between the protons and electrons.</span>
Answer : The correct option is, (b) +0.799 V
Solution :
The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:
![E^0_{[H^{+}/H_2]}=+0.00V](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5E0_%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%2FH_2%5D%7D%3D%2B0.00V)
![E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.799V](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5E0_%7B%5BAg%5E%7B%2B%7D%2FAg%5D%7D%3D%2B0.799V)
From the cell representation we conclude that, the hydrogen (H) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.
The half reaction will be:
Reaction at anode (oxidation) : 
Reaction at cathode (reduction) : 
The balanced cell reaction will be,
Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.
![E^o_{cell}=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[H^{+}/H_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5Eo_%7Bcell%7D%3DE%5Eo_%7B%5BAg%5E%7B%2B%7D%2FAg%5D%7D-E%5Eo_%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%2FH_2%5D%7D)
Therefore, the standard cell potential will be +0.799 V
Because of the crystal structure of the ice, ice has lower density than liquid water. So the volume of the ice of same mass is greater than water. When melting, the volume will decrease.

Mark me brainliest plsss
Explanation:
December 21 marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, but in 2020 the longest night of the year is also going to be a witness to an incredible astronomic event known as the “great conjunction”. ... This rare double planet sighting–or “Great Conjunction”–can be viewed from anywhere around the globe
