∙ 6y ago
Cations are positive ions (Fe2+, NH4+).
Anions are negative ions (Cl-, (SO4)2-).
Fe2+ is a monoatomic ion and (NH4)+ is a polyatomic Ion (contain more than one element).

Which tool would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction?
A displacement table would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction.
Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Cations.
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
What types of ions do different elements form?
Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).
What is an anion and a cation?
Cations and anions are different types of ions.A cation is a positively charged atom or group of atomsA anion is a negatively charged atom or group of atomstotal positive charge of cations = total negative charge of anions
Are a vast majority of polyatomic ions cations?
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
What are the 2 kinds of ions?
There are at least two reasonable answers to this question: anions and cations or monatomic and polyatomic.
What you called Na2BeO2?
Na2BeO2 is the chemical formula for "sodium beryllate", a salt with sodium cations and polyatomic beryllate anions.
What is the chemical formula for ammonium nitate?
The formula for ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3. Both the cations and the anions in this compound are polyatomic.
How are stong acids and weak acids different?
Strong acids, such as HCl, disassociate almost completely in solution. H + and Cl - cations and anions Weak acids, such as H2CO3, disassociate at approximately 1%. So you see many H2CO3 molecules in solution and few H + and HCO3 - cations and polyatomic anions in solution.
What is a polyatamic ion?
A polyatomic ion is one that contains more than one atom. Many common anions are polyatomic, e.g. NO3-, SO42-, CO32-, PO43- Cations may be polyatomic, e.g NH4+, Hg22+
Is pottasium sulfate a covalent bond?
Potassium sulfate contains both covalent and ionic bonding. Potassium cations are bonded ionically to the polyatomic sulfate anions, and these anions are internally bonded covalently.
Is ferrous sulfate covalent or ionic?
Ferrous sulfate is both ionic and covalent: The iron cations and polyatomic sulfate anions are ionically bonded, but the internal bonds within the sulfate anions are covalent.
How are salts different?
The cations and anions are specific for each salt.
A anions and xenons b anions and cations c cations and xenons d xenons and anions Which of these are ions?
The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.
Do anions and cations share electrons during ionic bonding?
Yes anions and cations share electrons. Anions gain electrons and cations loose electrons.
What are some monoatomic anions?
The halides are a family.
