Chapter 2, Problem 2.25PAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Difference between cations and anions should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Negatively charged ions are called anions, and positively charged ions are called cations.

There are two types of major differences between cations and anions.

1. Chemical differences
2. Physical Differences

Chemical differences mostly combine with electron properties of ions and physical differences combines with atomic structural properties such as ionic radius.
