Which of the following statements is true about ions? (1 point) cations form when an atom gains electrons cations form when an atom loses electrons anions form when an atom gains protons anions form when an atom loses protons

The correct statements are cations form when an atom loses electrons and anions form when an atom gains protons.

Explanation:

Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.

If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. For Example: Fluorine gains 1 electron to form ions.

If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. For Example: Sodium looses 1 electron to form ions.

Hence, the correct statements are cations form when an atom loses electrons and anions form when an atom gains protons.

b) mutualism

hope this : )

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
