these are the multiple choice question I got for homework:
Q.1. A chloride ion differs from a chlorine atom in having one-
(A) less proton (D) more electron
(B) more proton (E) more neutron
(C) less electron
Q.2. When a fluorine atom (2,7) becomes a fluoride ion, the.....
I atomic number of fluorine increases by 1
II atom loses one electron
III mass number of fluorine decreases by 1
IV atom takes on 1 negative charge
(A) I, II, III, IV (D) II,IV
(B) I, II, III (E) IV only
(C) II,III
Sorry for making your minds spin but I put up this homework because I wasn't at school yesterday and we are having monthly exams and none of my school mates are availabele for me to call, thanks in advance.(please give your answer with an explanation of how you got it, so I can understand)

Chlorine ion has one more electron than cholorine atom. It take on one more electron to have the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas: argon.
Fluorine atoms gain one more electron to become an ion. One more negative charge. It takes on one more electron to have the same number as the nearest noble gas: neon. Fourth answer only.

Q.1 D, Chlorine gains one electron to form the chloride anion. By gaining an electron, chlorine completes its octet.
Q.2 E, Fluorine, just like chlorine, gains one electron to become the fluroide anion. By adding one electron, you change the charge on the atom from zero to -1.

So reducing via all the bullshit, you desire us that can assist you pretend lesson plans which you have been in no way assigned and chemistry homework which you in no way did so your instructor would supply you a grade which you in no way earned? what's your backup plan whilst your chemistry instructor tries to make constructive this with the instructor at distinctive college? Or could we glance ahead to that question for next week? i do no longer think of i'd be doing you any favors if I "helped" you, yet i be attentive to it is going to take you an prolonged time to realize that. Suck it up and play the enjoying cards you're dealt.
