A negative charge.
Cl^- , O^2- , N^3- etc., are anions.
By comparison,
Na^+ ., Mg^2+ . Al^3+ etc., are cations.
Collectively , anions, and cations are named as 'ions'.
An anion always has a negative charge. An anion is a type of ion, and some examples are cyanide, fluoride, acetate, and nitrate.
No. An anion may contain covalent bonds, if it is a polyatomic anion, but an anion forms only ionic bonds if the anion's chemical integrity is maintained.
ide
polyatomic anion
anion is always larger than its parent atom
An anion is an ion with a negative charge - so SO42- is an anion
No. An anion may contain covalent bonds, if it is a polyatomic anion, but an anion forms only ionic bonds if the anion's chemical integrity is maintained.
No, an anion is the atom plus extra electrons which give that atom a negative charge. The anion is thus, always bigger than the original atom.
ide
An anion is named using the base element with an -ide suffix. Ex: Br- (Bromine anion) is named bromide sulfur- sulfide, ect.
polyatomic anion
anion is always larger than its parent atom
Phosphate is a triply charged polyatomic anion.
An anion is an ion with a negative charge - so SO42- is an anion
Cl -As this is a negatively charged ion it is a anion.

Anion
chloride is an anion.
