What is an ion and how is it formed?

Chemistry
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Ions are an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. They are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells.

Explanation:

When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

Where does oxidation and reduction take place in the reaction of Br2 + 2I- → 2Br + I2
Shkiper50 [21]
Okay, let's look at the oxidation number of each substance.
-Br2 has an oxidation number of 0 because it is in a stable form.
- I- has a -1 charge and thus has an oxidation number of -1.
- 2Br- has a -1 charge also
- I2 has an oxidation number of 0 as well.

Bromine goes from 0 to -1 and Iodine goes from -1 to 0.
Therefore, Bromine is having an electron added whilst Iodine is having an electron removed.

Oxidation is Loss of electrons so Iodine is being oxidised, Reduction is Gain of electrons so Bromine is being reduced.
