Explanation:

Ions are substances the have lost or gained a certain amount of electrons. This makes them either positively or negatively charged.

They are charged particles.

Every atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. They are the three fundamental particles in any atomThe protons and neutrons are located in the central part called the nucleus of an atom. It is a simple tiny space. Protons are positively charged particles. Neutrons do not carry any charges. Therefore, the nucleus is negatively charged. Electrons are negatively charged particles. They occupy the bulk volume of an atom.

Every atom is neutral and the number of protons and electrons are the same. The equal number of protons and electrons balances to attain neutrality of an atom.

Electrons are very easy to lose since they occupy the outermost shell.

When an atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more than electrons. Therefore, it becomes positively charged. Hence, its is called an anion. An atom can also gain an electron, the electron number will be more than the protons. They then become negatively charged and are called cation.

Cations and ions are substances that are produced to attain a special type of bonding called electrovalent bonding.

Oppositely charged substances attracts one another.

what type of charge does it have? negative

Answer from: Quest

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?
