QuestionIdentify the cation and anion for each ionic compound: and .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. Theionic compound is made up of a cation and an anion.
. The cation is the positively charged ion and the anion is the negatively charged ion.
3. The cation is always written first in theionic compound formula.
4. The charge of the cation and anion in the compound must balance each other out.
STEP 2
We need to identify the cation and anion in theionic compound .
STEP 3
The cation is the first part of the compound, which is in this case.
STEP 4
Write the symbol for the cation with its charge. The charge of in this compound is , so the cation is .
STEP 5
The anion is the second part of the compound, which is in this case.
STEP 6
Write the symbol for the anion with its charge. The charge of in this compound is , so the anion is .
STEP 7
Now we can complete the table by filling in the symbols for the cation and anion of theionic compound .
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hlineionic compound & cation & anion \\
\hline & & \\
\hline & & \\
