Is Ca a double cation?

Yes it is. In solution it is found as Ca++.


Where is a cation found in a formula?

The standard formula for writing chemical compounds is to list the cation (or more positive, in the case of two or more non-metals binding) first, and to list the anion (or more negative) second. For example, NaCl (sodium chloride, table salt) lists the cation (Na+) first and the anion (Cl-) second. For non-metals, a good example is carbon dioxide (CO2) - although covalently bonded, the carbon tends to maintain a slight positive charge and the oxygens tend to maintain a slight negative charge.


What is a ternary compound whose cation is in group IIA and has 18 electrons?

Use this information to help with naming Ternary Ionic Compounds.How do you write a formula for a TERNARY ionic compound?Definitionput the polyatomic ion in PARENTHESES!switch the charges of the cation and anionplace the charge of the anion OUTSIDE the parentheses if needed!Example: Ba+2 (SO4)-2Ba(SO4)Then, use in information given about the anion (SO4 in the above example) to help you figure out which cation you're working with. Since the question states that the cation is in group 2A and has 18 electrons. If this question tells you that the anion contains only carbon and oxygen and has a 2- charge, then you know that the cation is going to have a 2+ charge (to make it even/neutral). So, this has to be Ca(CO3) aka calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate can be found in antacids and chalk, and is also a component of sea shells.


Where would find electrons and what charge do they have?

Electrons are found outside the nucleus of the atom and they have negative charge.


What partcles are found outside the nucleus and what is the charge?

Electrons are found in orbital around the nucleus. They are negatively-charged.

Is scandium a cation OR anion?

Scandium is typically found as a cation with a charge of +3, as it tends to lose three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What is a cation and what cation is found in ammonium nitrate?

A cation is an ion that has lost electrons giving it a positive charge. Ammonium is the cation in ammonium nitrate.

Is the element Ni a cation or anion?

Ni-Nickel. In its natural form its a neutral atom since Number of proton=Number of electron. However when Ni wants a stable outer shell of electrons, it loses electrons to obtain a stable octet. After losing electrons, the number of protons is higher. Hence it has a positive charge making it a cation. Remember all metals give away electrons to get a positive charge.


How many electrons and protons are found in the Cu plus cation?

The Cu+ cation is formed when a copper atom loses one electron. Therefore, it has one more proton than electrons. So, the Cu+ cation has 29 protons and 28 electrons.

Is sodium a anion are a cation?

Sodium is an elemental metal, found in the Periodic Table. When it ionises( looses) an electron it becomes the Sodium CATION (Na^(+)). Remember ions that have a positive charge are CATIONS, and ions that have a negative charge are ANIONS. Slo the chloride ion (Cl^-) is an ANION. Collectively they are ions.

Where is an electric charge found?

An electric charge is found on particles such as electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons carry a positive charge. Electric charges are also found in objects that have gained or lost electrons through processes like friction or induction.
