An ion exists as an atom or a molecule where the total number of protons in the nuclei do not equal the atom/molecule's electrons. An example is Ca2+. It has 2 less electrons than it has protons.
A negatively charged ion is an anion.
yes. negatively charged ion is called cation and where as a positively charged ion is anion.
An anion refers to a negatively charged ion. The negatively charged ion is usually attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.
it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
A negatively charged atom of chlorine is called a chloride ion.
An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.
The word "ion" simply means a charged particle; a positive charge is ... Cation EXACENSE Capacity is the measure of how many negatively-charged sites are ...
Some are, others are negatively charged.
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
A negatively charged ion.
