The name given to an ion that has lost electrons is cation. Details about cations can be found below.

<h3>What is a cation?</h3>

A cation is a positively charged ion i.e. the one that would be attracted to the cathode in an electrolytic procedure.

Generally, an ion is an electrically charged atom. An ion can either be positively charged or negatively charged. The latter is called an anion while the former is called a cation.

A cation is formed when an atom loses electrons to become positively charged while an anion is formed when an atom accepts electrons to become negatively charged.

Therefore, it can be said that the name given to an ion that has lost electrons is cation.

9. In a period, do the number of shielding electrons change? Why do you think

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases, but the number of inner shielding electrons stays the same.

Explanation:

Their shielding does not change, so the effective nuclear charge — the charge felt by a valence electron — increases.

The valence electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus, decreasing the atomic radius.

For example, consider the elements of Period 3.

$\begin{array}{ccccc}& & \textbf{Number of} & \textbf{Inner} & \textbf{Valence}\\\textbf{At. No.} & \textbf{Symbol} & \textbf{Protons} & \textbf{Electrons} & \textbf{Electrons}\\11& \text{Na} & 11 & 10 & 1\\12& \text{Mg} &12 & 10 & 2\\13& \text{Al} & 13 & 10 & 3 \\14& \text{Si} & 14 & 10 & 4 \\15& \text{P} & 15 & 10 & 5\\16& \text{S} & 16 & 10 & 6\\17& \text{Cl} & 17 & 10 & 7\\18& \text{Ar} & 18 & 10 & 8 \\\end{array}$

The number of protons increases as you go from one element to the next, but the number of inner electrons is constant.
