Answer 1

A ________ ion is created when an electron is removed.

a. stable
b. neutral
c. positive
d. negative

A cation or positive ion is created when an electron is removed. The answer is letter C.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option c.

Step-by-step 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
`F^-` 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
`Na^+` ions.

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.
