Question

Determine one cation and one anion in the given unknown salt 'M'.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cation is Positively charged while anion is negatively charged so in the unknown salt M. The salt M is Sodium Chloride (Nacl). Sodium ions are metallic ions so they are Cation while Chlorine ions are non-metallic ions so they are anion.

Explanation:

Answer 2

A Positively charged particle is a cation and a Negatively charged particle is a anion in the unknown salt 'M'.

Explanation:

Consider a salt M as NaCl

NaCl dissociates as follows

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

Here in Sodium chloride

• Sodium ions are metalic and they are cations
• Chloride ions are non metallic ions and they are anions.
• So Na⁺ is Cation
• and  Cl⁻ is Anion
