QUESTION 10 DOK 2 5 points
Making Ions
Based on testing with the atomic model for hydrogen, what is the relationship between the number of protons and the number of electrons in each type of ion? Select the two correct answers.
Use the simulation as needed to confirm your answers.
SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
Anions occur when there are more electrons than protons.
Anions occur when there are fewer electrons than protons.
Cations occur when there are fewer electrons than protons.
Cations occur when there are more electrons than protons.
Anions occur when the number of protons and electrons is equal.

Answer

Select these two answers:

  1. Anions occur when there are more electrons than protons.
  2. Cations occur when there are fewer electrons than protons.

Electrons carry negative charge and protons carry positive charge. Extra electrons produce a negative ion (anion); fewer electrons than protons produce a positive ion (cation).
