A hydrogen ion (H+) has ____neutron(s)____proton(s), and____electron(s).
- a. 1; 0; 2
- b. 0; 1;0
- c. 0; 0; 1
- d. 1; 1;0
Introduction:
Neutron is neutral subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of the atom. Protons are the positive particles that are found in the nucleus of the atom while electrons are the negative particles present outside the nucleus in an atom.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
Hydrogen ion has only one proton present in its nucleus. Therefore, option b is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct statement:
Hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron present in it. It does not have any neutron in it. The hydrogen ion is formed when it loses its one electron. So the hydrogen ion has only one proton left.
Option b is given as “0; 1; 0”.
As, “hydrogen ion has one proton with zero electron and neutron,” is the right answer.
Hence, option b is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a is given as “1; 0; 2”.
Hydrogen ion has zero neutrons. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option c is given as “0; 0; 1”.
Hydrogen ion has one proton present in its nucleus. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option d is given as “1; 1; 0”.
Hydrogen ion does not have neutron present in it. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.
The hydrogen atom loses one electron to form hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ion has only one proton left and does not have any electron or neutron.

- PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forward
