Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The ions that will be attracted to the positive end of an electric field have to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Ion: A particle with net positive or negative charge is called as an ion. The addition or removal of electrons, turns a stable atom into an ion.
Cation: The net charge of an ion will be positive if electrons are removed. An atom (or) molecule that has more number of protons than electrons with a positive charge is called as a cation. Cations are positively charged species and are formed from metals.
Anions: The net charge of an ion will be negative if electrons are added. An atom (or) molecule that has more number of electrons than protons with a negative charge is called as an anion. Anions are negatively charged species and are formed from nonmetals.

- (a) Which ion is smaller, Co3+ or Co4+? (b) In a lithium-ionbattery that is discharging to power a device, for every Li+that inserts into the lithium cobalt oxide electrode, a Co4+ion must be reduced to a Co3+ ion to balance charge.

(c) Will the lithium cobaltoxide cathode expand or contract as lithium ions areinserted? (d) Lithium is not nearly as abundant as sodium.If sodium ion batteries were developed that function in thesame manner as lithium ion batteries, do you think “sodiumcobalt oxide” would still work as the electrode material?Explain.
