An element's number of protons can predict whether it will form a cation or anion. It will form a cation if it has more protons than electrons, or an anion if there are more electrons than protons.
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
the number of electrons in the outer shell .. for metals its less than 4 .. for non metals its more than 4 .. for semi its 4
A parent atom is a term used to describe the original state of an atom or element before it undergoes a chemical change. For instance, it may be used when discussing radioactive decay. The original element would be the parent atom, and the element that results from the radioactive decay would be the daughter atom. It may also be used when discussing ions. The parent atom would be the element before it undergoes ionization, and the daughter atom would be the resulting cation or anion.
An acid reacting with a hydroxide will result in the formation of water and the corresponding salt of the hydroxide's cation and the acid's anion. So in this case the products are water and calcium nitrate.
potassium ion and hydroxyl ion will be produced and solution is alkaline
Oxygen is neither a cation nor an anion. It is a neutral element.
Fluorine is an element. Fluoride is an anion.
Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.
Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.
Silver is normally not a cation or an anion, it is an element. Once it becomes an ion however, it will become a CATION with a +1 charge (Ag^+).
A single element cation and single element anion form a binary ionic compound, where one element is a metal and the other is a nonmetal. The metal forms the cation by losing electrons, while the nonmetal forms the anion by gaining electrons. Examples include NaCl (sodium chloride) and KBr (potassium bromide).
Cesium is a cation, as it has a positive charge due to losing an electron.
Silver is a cation. It typically forms a +1 cation (Ag+) in chemical compounds.
Oxygen is an element. It normally forms anions.
Br is an anion. It is called bromide and is the ion form of the element bromine.
Boron is a metalloid element with the symbol B. In chemical compounds, boron tends to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds, so it does not typically exist as a cation or anion in its pure elemental form.
Lithium is cation, because it is positivelycharged. Whenever a single element is positive , like calcium, it will be cation.While oxygen, which is negatively charged, will be anion.
