(a) What is an ion? Explain with examples. (b) What is the nature of charge on (i) a cation, and (ii) an anion? (c) name the cation and anion present in MgCl2. Also, write their symbols.
The overall charge on sodium chloride formed by the combination of an anion (Cl-) and a cation (Na+) is
mention two ions formed by non-metals from the following categories.
1. anions having -1 charge
2. anions having -2 charge
3. anions having -3 charge
Statement 1 (S1): Hydroxide ion is a monoatomic anion. Statement 2 (S2): Monoatomic anions always carry -1 charge on it.
