Interpretation:
The ions that will be attracted to the anode of a battery have to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Ion: A particle with net positive or negative charge is called as an ion. The addition or removal of electrons, turns a stable atom into an ion.
Cation: The net charge of an ion will be positive if electrons are removed. An atom (or) molecule that has more number of protons than electrons with a positive charge is called as a cation. Cations are positively charged species and are formed from metals.
Anions: The net charge of an ion will be negative if electrons are added. An atom (or) molecule that has more number of electrons than protons with a negative charge is called as an anion. Anions are negatively charged species and are formed from nonmetals.
