Which of the following statements about ions is NOT CORRECT? A. Anions are negative ions.
B. Anions are formed when an atom loses electrons.
C. Neutral atoms always have the same number of protons as electrons.
D. Cations are positive ions.

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.

The closer the atoms are to becoming ionic the more highly dense the negatively charged side gets.
