Solution

1. Anions are negatively charged ions and cations are positively charged ions.
2. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. Valency is the combining capacity of an atom of the element.
3. A chemical equation in which the mass of reactants on the reactants side is equal to the mass of products on the products side.
4. s - solid, i - ionic, g - gaseous, AQ - aqueous

Q. Chemical compounds in which anions and cations are held together by electrostatic force of attraction are known as ionic compounds. Cations and anions are charged species which are formed by losing and gaining electron(s) respectively to attain the nearest noble gas configuration or stability. Usually metals lose their valence electrons to form cations while non-metals accept electrons and form anions. Being held by a strong electrostatic force of attraction between ions, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
