Question

Acid radicals have negative charge and are also known as Cations.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Negatively charged $\left(anion\right)$ ions are called as acidic radicals because it forms when Hydrogen ion ($H^{+}$ ion) is removed from an acid. So removal of the Hydrogen ion makes the radical negatively charged. For example, When $HCl$ loses $H^{+}$ ion, it forms $C{l}^{-}$ which is a negatively charged ion $\left(anion\right)$ .
