Good day Class! Today we are going to learn about Ions and the two types of Ion, Cation and Anion. So are you ready to learn?
Yes teacher!!
In other words, there is an imbalance in the number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles) in a chemical species.
First off, what is an ion? An ion is defined as an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more of its valence electrons, giving it a net positive or negative electric charge.
As I've said earlier, there are two types of ions, can anyone remember what are the two? Yes. Tiffany?
If I'm not mistaken, I think it's Cation and Anion?
Cations are ions that have positive charge because the number of protons in the species is greater than the number of electrons. The formula for a cation is indicated by a superscript following the formula that indicates the number of the charge and a "+" sign.
Anions are ions that have negative charge. In anions, there are more electrons than protons. The number of neutrons is not a factor in whether an atom, functional group, or molecule is an anion. Like cations, the charge on an anion is indicated using a superscript after a chemical formula. And that's all for today, Can anyone share what they learned today?
That's right Tiffany! So class, Ions can be grouped into two categories, the Cation and the Anion
I learned that Cations are ions that have positive charge.
I learned that there is an imbalance in the number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles) in a chemical species.
I learned that Ions have two different categories, the Cation and Anion.
I learned that Anions are Ions that have negative charge.
