Chapter 2, Problem 2.30QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An example of monoatomic cation has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

An ion is an individual atom or group of atoms has net positive charge or negative charge.  Positively charged atom remains the same during chemical reaction (or change), however negatively charged atom may accept or donate an electrons.  The loss of electrons results in cation.

Monoatomic cation:

Monoatomic anion is the positively charged ion consists of only one atom.

Polyatomic cation:

Polyatomic anion is the positively charged ion consists of more than one atom of same or different element.

(b)
