Question

what is the difference between anions and cations ​

Answer 1

HEY MATE YOUR ANSWER IS HERE.....

FIRST OF ALL WE SHOULD KNOW

ABOUT SOME BASIC TERMS....

An ion is an atom or group of atoms in which the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge. An anion is an ion that is negatively charged, and is attracted to the anode (positive electrode) in electrolysis. A cation has a net positive charge, and is attracted to the cathode (negative electrode) during electrolysis.

NOW LETS DIFFERENTIATE.....

ANION

•] definition ....

An anion is an atom or a molecule which is negatively charged, i.e. has more number of electrons than protons.

•] charge .....

negative

•] examples .....

(O2-), sulfide (S2-), fluoride (F-), chloride (Cl-), bromide (Br-), iodide (I-), nitride (N3-) and hydride (H-)

•] electrode attracted to during electrolysis.......

anode

NOW

CATIONS

•] defination......

A cation is an atom or a molecule which is positively charged, i.e. has more number of protons than electrons.

•] charge ....

positive

•] examples.....

sodium (Na+), Iron (Fe2+), and Lead (Pb2+)

•] electrode attracted to during electrolysis.......

cathode

THANKS FOR THE QUESTION HOPE IT HELPS ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Answer 2

Anion is negative charge particle

But cation is positive charge particle
