Interpretation:
The cations and anions needs to be compared.
Concept introduction:
Cations and anions are atoms or molecules which has electric charge. Both are opposite charged atoms or molecules. Group 1 and 2 elements can form cations.
Answer to Problem 114A
Anions and cations are formed from reactive atoms. The main difference of cation and anions are direction of the electron transfer.
Explanation of Solution
Anions and cations are formed from reactive atoms. Cations donate electrons to form positive charge and anions gain electrons to form negative charge. Anions are formed from reactive atoms which have high affinity for electrons. The main difference of cation and anions are direction of the electron transfer.
Cations are positive charged and anions are negative atoms. Anions and cations are formed from reactive atoms.
