It refers to the process by which atoms are changed into ions through the removal or addition of electrons, giving them an electrical charge.
Iodization
Chlorination
Hydration
None of the options
Ions are electrically charged atoms or groups of atoms formed by ___ or ___ electrons.
Why are electrons the only subatomic species which can change their positions and give rise to charged atoms or ions?
If one electron has been removed from an atom, it becomes increasingly difficult to remove the second and subsequent electrons from the resulting positively charged ions on account of electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the remaining electrons. If the ionization values of elements are plotted against the atomic number, then peaks are occupied by:
