The cation would be either sodium, magnesium or aluminium. The only oxyanion with 26 electrons is the hypochlorite ion. So the compound is sodium/magnesium/aluminium hypochlorite.
When it donates electrons, the compound is going through a process called "ionic bonding"
One example of an ionic compound meeting these criteria is Ca(NO3)2, where the cation is Calcium with 20 electrons and the anion is nitrate (NO3-) consisting of nitrogen and oxygen, which are in the same group on the periodic table.
what is the cation for Ca(ClO4)2
it loses two electrons when forming a compuond.
A single element cation and single element anion form a binary ionic compound, where one element is a metal and the other is a nonmetal. The metal forms the cation by losing electrons, while the nonmetal forms the anion by gaining electrons. Examples include NaCl (sodium chloride) and KBr (potassium bromide).
This describes an ionic compound with an 8:3 ratio of electrons to cations. The cation has a charge of +3, meaning it has lost 3 electrons. The total number of electrons in the compound is 80.
No, ammonium is not an oxyanion. It is a polyatomic cation composed of one nitrogen atom and four hydrogen atoms, with a net positive charge. Oxyanions are negatively charged ions that contain oxygen.
A compound consisting of a metal cation and a non-metal or polyatomic anion.
An example of a binary ionic compound where both the anion and cation have 10 electrons is lithium fluoride (LiF). Lithium is a cation with 3 electrons, and fluoride is an anion with 9 electrons. When lithium loses an electron and fluoride gains an electron, they form LiF with both having 10 electrons in their outer shells.

Cation because it gives away its valence electrons in order to form an Ionic Compound, ie. LiCl
what is the cation for Ca(ClO4)2
An atom is a neutral structure consisting of a single nucleus with its orbiting electrons. A cation is a positively charged structure consisting of a single nucleus with its orbiting electrons. The major difference between an atom and a cation is that the cation has lost one or more electrons and therefore has a positive charge overall.
Strontium can be a neutral atom or a cation.
it loses two electrons when forming a compuond.
When you mix a metal cation with a nonmetal anion, they will form an ionic compound through ionic bonding. The metal cation will donate electrons to the nonmetal anion, resulting in the formation of a stable compound with a neutral charge. This compound will have a crystal lattice structure and exhibit properties different from those of the individual elements.
