What else can I help you with?
Cations are attracted to cathod or anode?
DNA is neither cathode or anode, but it is negatively charged, so the DNA molecules will rn from anode to cathode
What are positive and negative ions called?
Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions. Cations have a net positive charge because they have lost electrons, while anions have a net negative charge because they have gained electrons.
Do ions posses charges?
Yes, ions are charged molecules by definition. There are two types cations (with positive charges) and anions (with negative charges).
Where do cations move?
Cations are positively charged ions that are attracted to the cathode (negative electrode) during electrolysis or in an electrical field. These ions move towards the cathode where they gain electrons to become neutral atoms.
What is the name of the following ions?
Cations -- which are positive ions -- and anions, which are negative ions.
What kind of ions are attracted to each other?
These are positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions).
Cations are negative or positive?
Positive
Are cations attracted to the anode?
Cations are attracted to the cathode, not the anode. The anode attracts anions. This is because cations are positively charged ions, which are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) in an electrolytic cell.
In an aqueous solution cations are attracted toward what?
In an aqueous solution, cations are attracted toward the negatively charged cathode. This electrolytic attraction is due to the cations being positively charged and being attracted by the negative charge of the cathode.
What happens to an atom to form and ion?
The loss of one or more electrons forms a cation; some atoms gain one our more electrons in becoming anions. Both anions and cations are ions. Anions have a negative valence (charge), cations have a positive valence. Cations and anions attract one another to form compounds, substances consisting of two or more kinds of atoms. These compounds, dissolved in water, a polarized solvent, become solute and revert to ions. In such solution, the cations, having positive charges, are attracted to the negative poles of water molecules, and this arrangement enhances the solvency of the compound in water. Similarly, the anions, having negative charges, are attracted to the positive poles of the water molecules. In this way, a solution of the compound in water is formed.
What has a positive or negative charge?
These are ions: positive (cations) and negative (anions).
How do you know if a cation is positive or negative?
Cations are always positive, anions are negative.
Which ion is attracted to which electrode?
because chloride ions being negatively charged have got a tendency to get attracted to positive ions( follows from coloumbs law) and since positive electrode contains positive ions so chloride free ions in solution gets attracted to the positive electrode....
What is a positive ion called?
Positively charged ions are called cations and negatively charged ions are called anions. This is potentially the opposite way around to what you might expect but was named after the electrode an ion was attracted to. An anion is attracted to a positive electrode (the anode) and vice versa.
Cations are attracted to cathod or anode?
DNA is neither cathode or anode, but it is negatively charged, so the DNA molecules will rn from anode to cathode
What are positive and negative ions called?
Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions. Cations have a net positive charge because they have lost electrons, while anions have a net negative charge because they have gained electrons.
Are anions and cations ion?
Yes. Anions are negative ions and cations are positive ions.
