Which ion has GAINED an electron to produce the charge?
If an ion gains an electron that means the ion will be negatively charged.The name of that ion is called anion. On the other hand, if it loses and electron the ion will be positively charged, and the name of that ion is called cation.
What element is Lil?
LiI has two elements in it, lithium and iodine. Lithium is an alkali metal and iodine is a halogen, so together they form an ionic salt. The correct name is the lithium iodide.
Why cations and anions are named so?
A cation is named after the metal: cation of sodium (Na+), cation of lithium (Li+), cation of barium (Ba2+).
Does francium form an ion what is the charge and name of the ion. How do the subatomic particles -electrons- change when this element forms an ion?
As an alkali metal francium form the cation Fr+. A specific name doesn't exist. Transformation in a cation involve the loss of an electron.
Another name of cation?
