How would you compare the formation of positive ions with the formation of negative ions in terms of energy changes?
when a negative ion forms electrons are gained and energy is given off and when a positive ion forms electrons are lost and energy is used.
Do positive ions form faster than negative ions?
yes positive ions are faster then negative ions
