Chemistry 20 points when a neutral atom loses electrons it becomes a. neutron c. anion b. cation d. position i think b? the gaining of electrons by an ion or atom a. reduction c. neutralization b. oxidation d. electrolysis

When a neutral atom loses an electron, the atom becomes positively charged due to the of the imbalance of protons to electrons. This makes it a cation.

When an atom gains electrons, the addition of negative charge results in an atomic decrease, or reduction, of oxidation number.

1 is B, 2 is A.

Ithink the answer is 56.

m=9

step-by-step explanation:

7m+8=71 subtract   8 from 71 which is 63 than divide it by 7m   equal 9.
