Question

write the difference between Cation and Anion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cations are positively-charged ions (atoms or groups of atoms that have more protons than electrons due to having lost one or more electrons). Anions are negatively-charged ions (meaning they have more electrons than protons due to having gained one or more electrons).

Answer 2

Answer:

Cation:

1. A cation is an atom or a group of atoms bearing one or more positive electric charges.

2. Cations carry one or more positive charges.

3. Cations are formed by the loss of electrons by an atom.

4. In a cation the number of electrons are less than the number of protons.

Anion:

1. An anion is an atom or a group of atoms bearing one or more negative electric charges.

2. Anions carry one or more negative charges.

3. Negatively charged ions are known as anions.

4. Anions are formed by the gaining of electrons by an atom.
