How are the cations different in each type of binary compound?
cations in a compound are always positive.
What is the definition of ligand exchange?
A ligand exchange reaction is exactly what it says - a reaction in which one ligand in a complex ion is replaced by a different one. When a precipitate is formed in a solution, the solution remains a saturated solution of the compound. In other words, cations and anions of the compound remain in the solution. The cations are usually hydrated; that is, water molecules are 'ligands' and are attached to the cations by dative bonds. If some substance is added that can form even stronger bonds with the cations than water, the water molecules(or some part of them) are replaced by the new ligand, and the concentration of the hydrated ion drops. hi sammi
Are cations attracted to the anode?
No
What elements or molecules are cations?
Cation is a positive ion, not an element; for metals the symbol is Mex+.
How salts are different elements?
Of course. That's exactly what the difference between them is. A salt is "a chemical compound formed by replacing all or part of the hydrogen ions of an acid with one or more cations of a base."
What are metal cations?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Metal cations are formed when metal loses electrons.
What is a cation and how is it formed?
Cations are formed through loss of electrons.
What is formed from the cations of base and the anions of an acid?
A salt
How are cations produced?
Cations are positively charged species and are formed when elements lose electrons.
What are formed by a loss or gain of valence electrons during a chemical combination of elements?
Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, anions are formed by the gain of electrons. The force of attraction between cations and anions results in ionic bond.
What are the criteria for the formation of cations?
A cation is formed when an atom loss electrons.
What type of ion is formed by metal atom?
Cations, positively charged
How are cation formed?
Cations are formed when they give up electrons in ionic bonding.
What do you get when the number of protons and electrons in your model is not equal?
Cations are formed if electrons are less. Anions are formed if electrons are more.
What is the Definition and formation of cations and anions in Telugu?
Cations and anions are formed through the process of ionization, which involves the gain or loss of electrons by atoms. In Telugu, cations are known as "క్యాటియన్లు" (Kyaṭiyannlu), which are positively charged ions formed by losing electrons. Anions, on the other hand, are called "ఆనియన్లు" (Āniyannlu) and are negatively charged ions formed by gaining electrons.
What are ions and ionic bonds?
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose electrons. Negatively charged anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions.
Is it a cation or anion when it loses electrons?
Cations are positive, when loosing electrons (negative) they'll become MORE positive. Example: Fe2+ --> e- + Fe3+
