what is the difference between positively charged ions and negatively charged ions ?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons, as a cation (positive ion) , which is created by electron loss and is attracted to the cathode in electrolysis, or as an anion (negative ion) , which is created by an electron gain and is attracted to the anode.
That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number. Ions are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons. When you are missing an electron or two, you have a positive charge. When you have an extra electron or two, you have a negative charge.
Answer:
positively charged ions contains positive charge and are considered as electrophiles
negatively charged ions contains negative charge and are considered as nucleophiles
