Salts are ionic compounds which dissociate into positively charged ions called anions and negatively charged ions called cations when they are dissolved in an aqueous solution.
False
Salts are ionic compounds which, when dissolved in an aqueous solution like water, break up completely into ions. The ion with a positive charge is called a cation, and the one with a negative charge is called an anion.
So the statement given to us is false as the terms cation and anion need to be interchanged.
