Ow does the light-collecting area of an 8-meter telescope compare to that of a 2-meter telescope?

The area will be the square of the quotient of the amounts for each telescope. Comparing the two microscopes, the 8-meter model is 4 times larger than the 2-meter model. Squaring this value gives a ratio of 16 times the amount of visual area for the larger telescope.

It won't lose or gain electrons if it's a covalent bond it shares the electrons with another atom or atoms. if it is an ionic bond it will lose the 3 electrons on the outer shell and become a positively charged ion.  credit goes to @sunshinebaby of answers.yahoo.com.
