Write the cations and anions present (if any) in the following compounds.
a) CH₃COONa b) NaCI c) H₂ d) CO

Solution

Ionic compounds dissociate to form ions. Positive part is known as cation and negative part is known as anion.

Cations Anions
(1) CH₃COONa Na⁺ CH₃COO^-
(2) NaCl Na⁺ Cl^-
Both H₂ and CO are covalent compounds so they do not dissociate into ions.
