1. What is the functional purpose of an airbag? • Page 1, Paragraph 3: They are designed to supplement seatbelt restraints and help distribute the load exerted on a human body during an accident to minimize the deceleration rate and likelihood of injury. The term "airbag" itself is misleading since there's no significant "air" in these cushions. They are, instead, shaped and vented nylon-fabric pillows that fill, when deployed, with nitrogen gas. They are designed to supplement seatbelt restraints and help distribute the load exerted on a human body during an accident to minimize the deceleration rate and likelihood of injury. But while "supplement the seatbelt" is the mission of airbags, federal regulations require that they be tested and made effective for unbelted occupants, vastly complicating their task.

The ion question is an example. You are not answering that question. It's just an example of how your answer should look for the other question.

 

Use evidence from the text and try to be detailed you can include prior knowledge you may know as well.

1) What is an ion? Explain the difference between a monatomic and polyatomic ion. An ion is a charged atom with #protons # # electrons. On page three, paragraph one reads, "The prefix poly- means many, and atomic refers to atoms. An ion with more than one atom is a polyatomic ion. As a result, polyatomic ions differ from monoatomic ions, which contain only one atom." Polyatomic ions are groups of covalently bonded atoms, where the total number of protons is not equal to the total number of electrons. Atoms become ions when they gain or lose electrons and this results in a net charge. On page two, the ionic compound image shows an ionic bond formed between aluminum (Al) and chlorine (CI). In this image, Al+3 is a monoatomic ion as it is composed of one atom. AIC13 is a polyatomic ion because there is more than one atom involved.
