Chemical Specie (Ion): Ion is one of the among chemical species like atoms, molecules, free radical, and molecular ions. Ions are charged particles, containing either positive charge or negative charge. Positive charge ion is known as Cation and Negative ion is known as A nion. Cations ( Positive ions): These are formed when an atom (neutral particle) release one or more electrons from its outer most and get positive charge like Na+, Mg+2, Al+3 etc. Sodium ion Na+ formation( A cation): Sodium(Na) is an atom being atom it is neutral. Its atomic number is 11, it contains 11 protons in its nucleus and 11 electrons in its shells. Its valence shell (outer most shell which determine valency) has one electron as shown in the figure. To get stable by octet rule it loses its one electron from its valence shell and get configuration of nearest nobel gas i.e neon(Ne) as shown in figure Sodium ion formation How does cation get positive ch...
