Question

Within a particular compound, an atom gives up two electrons. This atom is

A. part of a covalent compound.
B. positively charged.
C. negatively charged.
D. not part of an electrolyte.

Answer 1

Positively charged due to donating two electrons and becoming an ion.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B. positively charged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

When an atom yields its electrons, it yields part of its negative charge. Therefore, it immediately transforms into a positively charged ion.

This positively charged ion is called cation.

We conclude that the correct answer is option B. positively charged.
