Question

a)What is an ion?
b)What is Cat ion?
c)Why the glucose and alcohol solution do not conduct electricity?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. an atom or a molecule that has gained or lost one or more of its parts (electrons)
2. An ion with positive electron charge is cat ion

Answer 2

Answer:

a. an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons as a cation which is created by electron loss and is attracted to the cathode in electrolysis or as an anion which is created by an electron gain and is attracted to the anode

b. a cation has more protons than electron consequently giving it a net positive charge for a cation to form one or more electrons must be lost typically pulled away by atoms with a stronger affinity for them

c. alcohol and glucose though contain hydrogen but do not ionise in the solution to produce H+ ions. this is proved by the fact that there solutions do not conduct electricity
