Simple metal cations take the name of the metal. Where there are more than one type of ion as is the case with iron, the lower charged ion ends in -ous and the higher charged in -ic. This convention is old, and doesn't cope with elements with more than two cations, but is in general use.
Simple anions are the "root" of the element name ending in -ide.
Examples of cationsK+, potassium, Na+ sodium, Mg2+ magnesiumFe2+ ferrous Fe3+ ferric
Hg2+ mercuric, Hg22+, mercurous
Examples of anionsCl- chloride, Br- bromideO2- oxide, S2- sulfide
N3-, nitride
What else can I help you with?
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
Which tool would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction?
A solubility chart or a table of standard reduction potentials can be used to determine which cations or anions will replace others in a chemical reaction depending on their reactivity and solubility properties.
Which tool would be used to find info on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction?
a reactivity series
Which tool would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace othe cations or anions in a chemical reaction?
A tool that would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace others in a chemical reaction is a displacement table.
What is the sum of charges of all cations and anions?
In a neutral compound, the sum of charges of all cations and anions will be zero. This is because cations have a positive charge and anions have a negative charge, and in a neutral compound, these charges will balance out.
Are anions and cations ion?
Yes. Anions are negative ions and cations are positive ions.
A anions and xenons b anions and cations c cations and xenons d xenons and anions Which of these are ions?
The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.
Do anions have a larger radius compared to cations?
Yes, anions have a larger radius compared to cations.
Do anions and cations share electrons during ionic bonding?
No, anions and cations do not share electrons during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, cations lose electrons to anions, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond based on electrostatic attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions.
What is the general word for both cations and anions?
The term "ion" can be used to refer to both anions and cations.
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
Are cations bigger than anions in terms of size?
In general, cations are smaller than anions in terms of size.
Cations and anions similar?
No, cations have a positive charge and have lost electrons. Anions have a negative charge and have gained electrons. In an ionic compound anions and cations attract each other due to opposite charges.
Which tool would be used to find information on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction?
A solubility chart or a table of standard reduction potentials can be used to determine which cations or anions will replace others in a chemical reaction depending on their reactivity and solubility properties.
What type of compound does cations and anions compose?
Cations and anions compse ionic chemical compounds.
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
Which tool would be used to find info on which cations or anions will replace other cations or anions in a chemical reaction?
