Answer:
it is called an ion
Explanation:
if it gains electrons then it is an anion
if it gains protons it is a cation
typically non metals are anions and metals are cations
Sodium and magnesium oxides are alkaline. Aluminium oxides are amphoteric (reacting both as a base or acid). Silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine oxides are acidic. Some non-metal oxides, such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), do not display any acid/base characteristics.
Arrhenius theory is a theory about acids and bases. It says that acids are those substances that produces hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution and bases are the substances that dissiociates and produces hydroxide ions (OH-). It was introduced by Svante Arrhenius.
