Question

write difference between anions and cations.



and


cathod and anode.

Answer 1

Cations and anions are both ions. The difference between a cation and an anion is the net electrical charge of the ion.

Ions are atoms or molecules which have gained or lost one or more valencee electron giving the ion a net positive or negative charge.

Cations are ions with a net positive charge.

Cation Examples: Silver: Ag+, hydronium: H3O+, and ammonium: NH4+

Anions are ions with a net negative charge.

Anion Examples: hydroxide anion: OH-, oxide anion: O2-, and sulfate anion: SO42-

Cathode is negatively charged electrode and anode is positively charged eletrode the ions that move towards cathode are positively charged and are called cations and the ones that move towards anode are called anions.

The cathode is negatively charged and all the positively charged cations move towards it and accept electron to deposit as neutral atoms on the cathode .

Anode donates electrons meaning it releases charged ions which decreases the size of the anode this causes flow of electron from anode to cathode and maintains an electric current.

Answer 2

Cation
1.It is positively charged example sodium.
2. It is formed from metal atoms.
Anion
1. It is negatively charged example chlorine.
2. It is formed from non-metal atoms.
