The correct answer is e) atom A becomes a positive ion and atom B becomes a negative ion. Ions are charged particles that result when a neutral atom gains or loses an electron.

Further Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.In a positive ion, the number of protons is greater than the number of electrons.In a negative ion, the number of protons is less than the number of electrons.

In the problem, atom A loses an electron to atom B.

Suppose atom A has 11 protons and 11 electrons and atom B has 9 protons and 9 electrons.

BEFORE TRANSFER OF ELECTRONS

atom A: 11 protons, 11 electrons

atom B: 9 protons, 9 electrons

AFTER TRANSFER OF ELECTRONS

atom A: 11 protons, 10 electrons

atom B: 9 protons, 10 electrons

a) atom A becomes a negative ion and atom B becomes a positive ion FALSE because atom A has more protons than electrons turning it into a positive ion, and atom B now has more electrons making a negative ion.

b) atom A acquires more neutrons than atom B FALSE because only the number of electrons changed. The number of neutrons are unchanged in the formation of ions.

c) atom A becomes more negative than atom B FALSE because atom A becomes more positive since there is more protons (positively charged) than electrons (negatively charged) while atom B, with its extra electron becomes negatively charged

d) atom A acquires less neutrons than atom B FALSE because the number of neutrons does not change. Only an electron was transferred.

e) atom A becomes a positive ion and atom B becomes a negative ion TRUE because there are more protons than electrons in A after the electron transfer and there are more electrons in B than protons after receiving the electron.

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
