Ions are stable atoms of elements formed when original atoms loose or gain electrons to form stable configuration. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons while cations are the positively charged ions formed when atoms loose electrons. In this case a charge of +1 means an atom lost one electron to form a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is A
The sun is a star.
If you were talking about that
When HCl is added to a saturated solution of PbCl2, the solubility of PbCl2 would decrease so precipitation would occur. The decrease in the solubility is due to the common ion effect or the presence of Cl- ions in both compounds.
