Hello! Your answer would be a gain of electrons and a decrease in positive charge.
Contrary to how it sounds, reduction is actually a gain of electrons. It is part of a set of reactions known as a redox reaction, reduction being a gain of electrons and oxidation being a loss.
With the gain of electrons, the element would become more negative as electrons bring with them a negative charge. Therefore, this would decrease the positive charge.
Hope this helped!

How I at least figure this problem out is I take a pencil and start on the right side of the 0 and make a loop to the left for each number and count until I get to the first two numbers that are between 1-9 when reading from left to right. This is where you put the decimal point. Some teachers rather you keep the 0's there, while others prefer one to get rid of them. Anyways with that new decimal number, you multiply the decimal by ten to what ever number you counted, which was 7.
<span>Africa was more south and west and South America was more south and east of their current positions. I would say this would be because because South America and Africa used to be together in Gondwanaland millions of years ago and then apparently drifted apart as Wegener thought and then with the advent of plate tectonics it became apparent that the mid-Atlantic ridge runs between them and due to spreading along it Africa and S America got separated.</span>
