Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ions that will be attracted to the anode of a battery 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.
