Question

Identify anion and cation present in the Barium chloride salt by using systematic procedure .​

Answer 1

Explanation:

BACL→→ BA + CL

HERE, THE ATOMIC NUMBER OF BA IS 56 AND ITS VALENCE ELECTRONS IS 2. THE THE ATOMIC NUMBER CL IS 17 AND ITS VALENCE ELECTRONS IS 1.

THE ATOMICITY OF CHLORINE IS 2 AND ATOMICITY OF BARIUM IS 1.

SO, THE REACTION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS,

2BACL →→ 2BA + CL2

IN THE GIVEN REACTION, CHLORINE HAS THE HIGH ENERGY TO GAIN AN ELECTRON FROM THE BARIUM.

SO, BARIUM IS CATION AND CHLORINE IS AN ANION.
