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.
