Question

WHAT ARE IONS
WHAT ARE CATIONS

Answer 1

Answer:

MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST

Explanation:

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.

A cation is a positively charged atom. As you may know, an atom is electrically neutral. ... Similarly, when calcium loses 2 electrons, the resulting cation has a +2 net positive charge. It's helpful to know that an atom can form a negatively charged ion by gaining one or more electrons, and these are known as anions.
