Front

What is an ion?

Back

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

Front

What is the difference between cations and anions?

Back

Cations are positively charged ions (loss of electrons), while anions are negatively charged ions (gain of electrons).

Front

Back

Charge = Number of protons - Number of electrons.

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in ion formation?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, leading to stable ion formation.
