प्रश्न
Rita goes 20 km towards east from a point A to the point B. From B, she moves 30 km towards west along the same road. If the distance towards east is represented by a positive integer then, how will you represent the distance travelled towards west? By which integer will you represent her final position from A?

उत्तर
Since the distance towards east is represented by a positive integer, the distance travelled towards west will be represented by a negative integer.
Distance travelled in east direction = 20 km
Distance travelled in west direction = −30 km
Distance travelled from A = 20 + (−30) = −10 km
Therefore, we will represent the distance travelled by Rita from point A by a negative integer, i.e., −10 km (i.e., Rita is now in west direction).

An atom consists of charged particles called electrons and protons. Each proton has a charge of +1 and each electron has a charge of –1. Remember number of electrons is equal to number of protons, while answering these questions:
- What is the charge on an atom?
- What will be the charge on an atom if it loses an electron?
- What will be the charge on an atom if it gains an electron?
An atom changes to a charged particle called ion if it loses or gains electrons. The charge on an ion is the charge on electrons plus charge on protons. Now, write the missing information in the table given below:
| Name of Ion | Proton Charge | Electron Charge | Ion Charge |
| Hydroxide ion | +9 | – | –1 |
| Sodium ion | +11 | – | +1 |
| Aluminium ion | +13 | –10 | – |
| Oxide ion | +8 | –10 | – |
