How do you tell apart cations and anions?

cations, positively charged ions, can be told from anions, negatively charged ions, bysize--cations are smaller then the average atomic mass of the element --anions are largertype--cations are made from metals --anions are non-metalsorder--cations are always listed first in a chemical equation


What is barium mono-atomic cations and anions?

Barium forms a divalent cation and no anions.


What 3 atomic cations have 14 protons?

Silicon is the only element with 18 protons, it form NO cations.


Can atomic and molecular ions be cations or anions?

Yes. Example of atomic cation is Na+. Example of atomic anion is Cl-. Example of molecular cation is NH4+. Example of molecular anion is NO3-.


Is Kr a nonmetal?

Kr is the atomic symbol for the element krypton.


How many photons are required to ionize atomic hydrogen?

Ionization energy and electron affinity for cations and anions, respectively.


Is BaSO4 a covalent and an ionic bond?

Ionic containing barium cations and sulfate anions the sulfate anion is poly atomic and contains 4 sulfur oxygen covalent bonds.


What 3 atomic anions have 9 protons?

Since you want atomic (rather than molecular) anions AND 9 protons only the element with atomic number 9 is possible, i.e. Fluorine. This has really only one anionic state though, -1. So I can only suppose you mean either: - transient unstable anions - synthetic isotopes of Fluorine (also unstable) - molecular rather than atomic anions In the latter case (most likely) you could have as well as F- also e.g. NH2- or OH- as molecular (not atomic) anions with 9 protons in total.


How do the radii for anions and cations change as you go down a group?

In the groups 1-5 and 12-17 atomic radius increase down in group.In groups 6-17 the variation is irregular.


A negatively charged atomic particle is called an electron?

It is true that a charged particle is called an ion. Ions that are positively charged are called cations and ions that are negatively charged are called anions.


Can each atom of a specific element have the same number of protons or atomic mass or number of neutrons or atomic weight or none above?

an element is distinct from others by the number of protons, change the number of protons you have a different element1. The number of elections can be altered creating ions2 and the number of neutrons can be different which are isotopes. so the atomic weight can change between ions and isotopes of the same element. 1. breaking down of the nucleus called radiation. 2. cations + charge: number of protons greater then elections anions - charge: number of elections greater then protons


How is the mass in grams of an element converted to amount in moles?

1 mol of any element is the atomic weight expressed in grams.
