<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
It was a positive ion.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
In CaBr, ionic bond is present. When one of the atom loses electrons and gets positive charges and other atom gains electrons and become negative. As a result of positive and nagative charges , a ionic bond formed.
As in this case, Ca loses electrons and become positive ion while on the other hand bromide gets the electrons and become negative ion.
<em>Note:</em>
Electropositive atoms always loose electrons Like Ca while electronegative atoms always gain elelctrons like Br.
Amount of a substance (called the solute) that dissolves in a unit volume of a liquid substance (called the solvent) to form a saturated solution under specified conditions of temperature and pressure. Solubility is expressed usually as moles of solute per 100 grams of solvent.
