What is an ion? A. An atom that has lost or gained 1 or more electrons
O B. An atom that has lost or gained 1 or more neutrons
O C. An atom that has lost or gained 1 or more protons
D. An atom that differs in mass from another atom of the same
element

An ion is an atom that has lost or gained one or more electrons.

Explanation:

Ions are positively or negatively charged atoms of elements. This is because they can give, take, or share electrons with other elements to encourage the formation of chemical bonds.

Protons are what decide the chemical identity of the element. So, for example, if an atom has 11 protons, we know that will be a Sodium (Na) atom. A loss or gain of protons completely changes the chemical identity of the element and it will then become another element.

Electrons are what give an atom a neutral electrical charge (if that atom has the number of protons and neutrons normally described for the element - otherwise, a discrepancy or gain in neutrons is referred to as an isotope and declares that ions have nothing to do with the mass of an element).

With this information, you can realize that neutrons and protons have nothing to do with ions and you can confirm that ions are atoms that have lost or gained one or more electrons.

b..

is the correct one

explanation:

covalent bonds form as valence electrons are shared between two atoms. lewis structures and structural formulas are common ways of showing the covalent bonding in organic molecules. formal charge describes the changes in the number of valence electrons as an atom becomes bonded into a molecule.

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
