An anion is a negatively charged ion. An element can become an anion if it takes an extra electron such that it has one more electron than protons.
Atoms would preferentially taken an extra electron so that it can have a full octet and be more stable.

are some of the few elements that would have a -1 charge.
Explanation:
It is known that the value of Avogadro's number is
.
Therefore, calculate moles of gold atoms as follows.
Moles of gold atom = 
= 
=
mol
= 1.99 mol
Thus, we can conclude that 1.99 mol of gold atoms are equivalent to
atoms.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
mass fo KCl in the solution is - 5.0 g
number of moles of KCl - 5.0 g/ 74.5 g/mol = 0.067 mol
number of moles of KCl in 100 mL - 0.067 mol
therefore number of KCl moles in 1 L - 0.067 / 100 mL x 1000 mL = 0.67 M
molarity of KCl is 0.67 M
Dissolving 0.729 mol NaCl in 2530 mL of water yields a solution with 2.88M concentration.
Explanation:
The moles of NaCl given will be dissolved and volume will be made with given data will give molarity.
The units for molarity are moles/litre, so the volume given in ml will be converted to litres by dividing it with 1000.
data given:
number of moles of NaCl = 0.729 moles
volume of the solution = 2530 ml or 2.53 litre
To calculate the concentration of the solution the formula used is:
molarity = 
= 0.288 M
The concentration or molarity of the solution OF NaCl is 2.88M
Answer:
✔️Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and nonmetal atoms.
✔️The less electronegative atoms transfers one or more electrons to the more electronegative atom
✔️The metal atom forms a cation and the nonmetal atom forms an anion.
✔️The attraction between ions with an opposite charge forms an ionic bond.
Explanation:
Ionic bond refers to the bond formation which occurs when there is complete and permanent transfer of electrons from one metal atom to another non-metal atom. The metals, which are electropositive (less electronegative) loose their electrons while the non-metals, which are less electropositive (more electronegative) gain the electrons.
When the metal atom looses electrons, they form cations(become positively charged) while non-metal atom forms anions (become negatively charged). When the opposite charges attract each other, they form ionic bond.
