Single Replacement Reaction.
When the cation in a compound is replaced, the charge on the cation can change depending on the properties of the new cation. Some cations have fixed charges, while others can have variable charges. Therefore, the charge on the cation may or may not stay the same when it is replaced in a compound.
An ionic compound contain a cation and an anion.
H + cation => acid
The combination of the cation of a base and the anion of an acid forms a compound called a salt. This is the result of an acid-base reaction in chemistry. For example, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide react to form the salt sodium chloride and water.
neither. it is a compound
The cation is the metal "Cu", otherwise known as the element Copper.
NH4 in neither element nor compound. It is positively charged polyatomic cation. It is actually NH4+.
The cation is the Potassium - K+. KOH is not a chemical element, its a compound - more specially a base.
The newly formed aluminum compound in this reaction will be aluminum nitrate, since aluminum (III) cation from aluminum chloride will replace the ammonium (NH4+) cation from ammonium nitrate to form aluminum nitrate (Al(NO3)3).
cation
When a metal and nonmetal element form an ionic compound, it is a transfer of electrons from the metal (which loses electrons to become a cation) to the nonmetal (which gains electrons to become an anion). This forms an ionic bond between the cation and anion, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound.
The polyatomic cation for lithium nitrate is Li+. This cation is derived from the element Lithium with a positive charge in the compound lithium nitrate.
The element that forms the cation (positive ion) comes first in the formula for an ionic compound.
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).
A salt is formed when the anion of an acid combines with the cation of a base in a neutralization reaction. This reaction results in the formation of water and the salt compound.
The metal become a cation.
The name of the cation followed by the name of the anion. If the cation is a single atomic cation, its name is the same as the name of the element (followed by the oxidation state number of the metal in the cation in Roman numbers within parentheses, if the cation is formed from an element that has two distinct stable oxidation states). If the anion is a single atom anion, its name is made from the element name by changing the ending "-ine", if present in the element name, to "-ide" or otherwise modifying the element name to end in "-ide" (e.g., carbide, nitride, oxide, sulfide, etc.). Polyatomic cations and anions have individual names.
