Question

what are cations and anions​

Answer 1

Answer:

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge. Since the charge of the electron is equal and opposite to that of the proton, the net charge of an ion is non-zero due to its total number of electrons being unequal to its total number of protons.

Answer 2

Explanation:

☆☞ When an ion gain electrons to gain stability is called anion (or) an ion carrying negatively charged particles is called anion.

☆☞ When an ion losses an electron to gain stability is called cation or an ion carry positively charged particles is called cation.
