In an aqueous solution of lithium chloride (LiCl), the ions present in solution are lithium cations (Li+) and chloride anions (Cl-), and the water molecules (H2O).
Lithium chloride is an ionic salt, and therefore, fully dissociates or ionizes upon dissolution in water. From the chemical formula of lithium chloride, we can say that 1 lithium ion (positively-charged) only needs 1 chloride ion (negatively charged) to form the salt. Thus, upon dissociation of 1 molecule of LiCl, only 1 lithium ion, and 1 chloride ion form.
Water is a molecule formed by covalent bonds and <u>generally</u>, does not dissociate to form ions. However, if we consider the very minor contribution of the dissociation of water, hydroxide (OH-) ions and hydronium (H3O+) ions will also be present. However for water, very few molecules, only 1 in 550 million, are dissociated at any given time. Thus, we can consider the presence of the OH- and H3O+ ions to be negligible and just identify the molecular undissociated form of water to be present.
A cation will not replace an anion in a compound because the two positively-charged ions will repel each other.
<h3>Ions</h3>
Ions are atoms or group of atoms possessing an electrical charge.
- Positively-charged ions are known as cations.
- Negatively-charged ions are known as anions.
<h3>Ionic compounds</h3>
Ionic compounds are compounds which are composed of oppositely charged ions held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
- From law of electrostatics, like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
If a cation replaces an anion, the compound would have two l positive charges which will repel each other.
Therefore, a cation will not replace an anion in a compound because the two positively-charged ions will repel each other.

Answer:
No he will not
Explanation:
The orthoclase has a protective wall around it very similar to a cell wall that attracts eukaryotes in order to protect itself
Hahaha is that one of the streak questions?
