The end of a chemical name is changed to distinguish an anion from its atom by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element's name when it forms an anion. This naming convention helps to indicate the difference between the neutral atom and the negatively charged ion. For example, chlorine becomes chloride when it gains an electron to form an anion.
No, an anion is the atom plus extra electrons which give that atom a negative charge. The anion is thus, always bigger than the original atom.
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
The chemical formula of ferrocene is (C5H5)2Fe. It consists of a central iron atom sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl anion (C5H5-) ligands.

No, electronegativity is not the ability of an anion to attract another anion. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself when it forms a chemical bond with another atom. It is a property of atoms, not ions.
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
If a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. The extra electron increases the overall negative charge of the atom and can affect its chemical behavior and reactivity.
An anion is an atom with a negative charge, not a leaf.
An anion is an atom with negative electrical charge.
An anion has more electrons than a neutral atom.
No, having four valence electrons does not determine whether an atom is an anion. An anion is formed when an atom gains electrons to have a negative charge. If the atom with four valence electrons gains four more electrons, it would become an anion.
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
No, an anion is the atom plus extra electrons which give that atom a negative charge. The anion is thus, always bigger than the original atom.
If it is a monatomic ion, the ending of its name is changed to -ide. For example, the anion formed by an oxygen atom is called oxide, and the anion formed by the chlorine atom is called chloride.
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
