<u>Ion</u>
Ion is a charged particle.
A neutral atom contains equal number of positive protons and negative electrons
When an electron is lost or gained the atom becomes a charged particle which is called as an ION.
For example
Na is an atom which contains 11 electrons and 11 protons(= to atomic number)
When Na loses an electron it will have 11 positive proton and 10 negative electron and Thus, Na will become , a charge particle which we call it as sodium ion.
Cl is an atom which contains 17 electrons and 17 protons(= to atomic number)
When Cl loses an electron it will have 17 positive proton and 18 negative electron and Thus, Cl will become , a charge particle which we call it as chloride ion.
When an ion is positively charged it is called as a cation
When an ion is negatively charged it is called as an anion.
Salt is formed when an acid reacts with a base.
The cation of the base combines with the anion of the acid to form the salt.
HCl is acid and NaOH is a base forms salt NaCl and water.
is an anion of the acid and
is the cation of the base combines to form NaCl salt .
and
combines to form
