Help plz will mark brainliest xD

Ions are atoms that have either gain or lose electrons from the neutral atom.

A loss of electrons results in a positive ion, called a cation, a gain of electron results in a negative ion called an anion.

Ionic compounds are formed by the combination of a cation and anion, or metal + nonmetal.

When naming ionic compounds, name the cation first, and the anion second, changing the ending to ide.

Explanation:

Hope it helped!

• [ lost ] or [ gained ]

• [ cation ], [ anion ]

• [ metal ] + [ non-metal ]

• [ cation ] and the [ anion ] to [ compound with suffix "ide" or "ode" ]

a compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.

a. by the combination of an unlimited number of elements

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
