Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Cations.
Is a flame test for cations?
yes, for cations
Will polonium make cations or anions?
cations
Are cations metals?
cations, they all ionize to a positive charge cation=+ charge anion=- charge
What are metal cations?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Metal cations are formed when metal loses electrons.
Where do cations move?
Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.
Are cations positive ions that are nonmetals?
Cations are electrically positive ions
What kinds of elements forms cations?
Metals generally form cations
In an aqueous solution cations are attracted toward what?
Cations are attracted to anions.
The membrane potential of a cell favors?
movement of cations into the cell
How might cations in group 1 be separated from cations in group 2?
If your Group 2 cations are calcium, strontium or barium, add a solution containing sulphate ions, i.e. sulphuric acid or the sulphate of the Group I metal that is the Group I cations in your solution. The Group 2 cations will precipitate out with the sulphate ions. If you have beryllium or magnesium cations, then I don't know.
How do you tell apart cations and anions?
cations, positively charged ions, can be told from anions, negatively charged ions, bysize--cations are smaller then the average atomic mass of the element --anions are largertype--cations are made from metals --anions are non-metalsorder--cations are always listed first in a chemical equation
