Water gains and loses heat much more quickly than land.
There are a great many things that gain and lose heat. Metals for example gain and lose heat much more quickly than gasses.
correct, and it also loses its heat more quickly.
Isotope
lithium
An Ion. More specifically if it gains an electron it becomes an anion and it it loses an electron it becones an cation (pronounced Kat-ion)
an ion is when an element loses or gains one or more electrons. an isotope is when a element loses or gains one or more neutrons. when one or more proton(s) is/are gained or lost, it becomes a different element.
ion
it gains or acquires a charge either positive or negative so when it gains energy, it aquires a negative charge then when it loses energy, it aquires a positive charge
For an atom to form an ion, it has to either gain or lose one or more electrons. Usually this happens during a chemical reaction, when an element gains or loses electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
There is more than one kind of potential energy. A rocket, when fueled, has chemical potential energy. When it burns its fuel, it loses chemical potential energy but gains gravitational potential energy. If it then falls back to the ground it loses gravitational potential energy but gains in heat and kinetic energy, until it burns up or crashes.
it becomes a liquid, and then a gas after that if heated even more.
When the number of protons or electrons is not even (more protons than electrons or the opposite).
