Question

Anions are attracted towards water molecules and form . hydrated cation hydration anion. . both (a) and (b) d none of above​

Answer 1

$\huge{\red{ \fbox{↪ Answer : }}}$

None of the above.

Answer 2

OPTION (b) IS CORRECT.

(b) HYDRATED ANION.

ANIONS INTERACT WITH WATER MOLECULES AND FORM A HYDRATION ANION.

Explanation:

• The anions and cations present interacts with the solvent.
• When water is present as a solvent, the anions interact with it through ion-dipole interactions.
• The anion gets surrounded by the water molecule as it has a dipole moment and it interacts with anion.
• The hydrogen atoms are less electronegative than oxygen so they'll interact with anion as opposite charges attract each other.
• The number of water molecules that are present around the anion to form a hydration anion depends on the radius and charge of ions.
• Therefore, option (b) hydrated anion is correct.
