What is a cation and where can you find it on the periodic table?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maslowich2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

Nikitich [7]

Answer: 2.17 x 10^23 molecules

Explanation:

1mole of H2O contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

Therefore 0.360mole of H2O will contain = 0.36 x 6.02x10^23 = 2.17 x 10^23 molecules

A positively charged substance is brought near the ion. What will most likely happen and why
d1i1m1o1n [39]

<u>Answer:</u> It repels positive ion and attracts negative ion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 2 types of ions:

1. Cations: These ions are positively charged ions which are formed when a substance looses electrons.

2. Anions: These ions are negatively charged ions which are formed when a substance gains electrons.

It is known that, like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

As, it is given that the substance is positively charged, so it will attract anion and repel cation.
