Answer: An atom that has gained an electron.

Explanation:

The number of protons in an atom cannot change except for some exceptional circumstances.

Cations (or metal ions) are formed when atoms lose electrons, as they want to form a complete outer electron shell to become as stable as possible.

For example, potassium is a 1+ ion, because it has one electron in its outer shell (and in group one). Therefore, to become more stable that electron is lost to become an ion or cation. As one electron is lost, the potassium cation charge is 1+ as the charge of an electron is 1-.

Express the product of 2.2 mm and 5.00 mm using the correct number of significant digits.
netineya [11]
The rule of significant figures when multiplying numbers is that the number of significant figures of the product must be that of the least number of significant figures of the factors.
The factors are 2.2 which has 2 significant figures and 5.00 which has 3 significant figures. Therefore, the product must only have 2 significant figures.
The answer is B. 11 mm2

Heavy rainfall causes a landslide. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is a landslide?</h3>

A landslide is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope.

Water can trigger landslides and mudslides because it alters the pressure within the slope, which leads to slope instability.

Consequently, the heavy water-laden slope materials (soil, rock, etc.) will succumb to the forces of gravity.

Hence, option A is correct.

Copper sulfate, when it is dissolved in water, has a blue color. When steel wool is mixed with a copper sulfate solution, the st
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

A. The color change from blue to green happens in nature.

Explanation:

The color change is an indicator of a chemical reaction that has occurred. Although color changes are not necessarily good diagnostic tool to measure if a chemical reaction has occurred or not.

  • In this reaction, color changes is quite an effective tool
  • Chemical changes usually involves the formation of a new product from the chemical reaction.
  • Also, the steps are not easily reversible.
  • For this reaction, color change is the most appropriate signal for a chemical change.

Ethane, C2H6, can be formed by reacting acetylene, C2H2, with hydrogen gas as follows: C2H2(g) H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(g) Exothermic What c
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Equilibrium shifts to the right

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one in which temperature is released to the environment. Hence, if the reaction vessel housing an exothermic reaction is touched after reaction completion, we will notice that the reaction vessel e.g beaker is hot.

To consider the equilibrium response to temperature changes, we need to consider if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. In the case of this particular question, it has been established that the reaction is exothermic.

Heat is released to the surroundings as the reactants are at a higher energy level compared to the products. Hence, increasing the temperature will favor the formation of more reactants and as such, the equilibrium position will shift to the left to pave way for the formation of more reactants. Thus , more acetylene and hydrogen would be yielded
