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

How do you determine the charge of a monatomic ion?

Back

The charge of a monatomic ion is determined by the number of electrons lost or gained compared to the neutral atom.
