To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 41R
The correct option is (A).
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The atom that gains an electron is called anion. Anion carries negative charge on it and shows the number of electrons gained in the form of negative charge.
A positive ion is one which loses electron and gets positive charge. It is also called as cation.
For example: Na+
Polar molecule doesn’t show any charge, the compound as a whole is neutral, although they show partial charges both positive and negative.
For example: HCL
A non-polar molecule doesn’t carry any changes.
For example: O2
Hence, the option (B), (C) and (D) are wrong.
The atom which gains electrons is called as anion and it carries negative charge.
Hence, the correct option is (A).
Conclusion:
Hence, anion gains electrons.
