A negatively charged ion is called a cation. And a positively charged ion, an anion. Correct Answer Only A is true

The Correct Answer is Only A is true.

Key Points

  • An ion is an atom or a group of atoms that does not equal the number of electrons to the number of protons.
  • Electrons have a negative charge, whereas there is a positive charge for protons.
  • This results in a negative charge when an atom gains electrons. An anion is called this form of ion.
  • This results in a positive charge when an atom loses electrons. A cation is considered a positively-charged ion.
  • Usually, positive ions are metals or behave like metals.
  • Just like atoms may lose electrons to become cations, others can absorb electrons and become anions that are negatively charged.
