Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A Cation ("cat eye un") is the term of An Ion with a net negative electric charge.

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Ionic bonds form between two or more atoms by the transfer of one or more electrons between atoms. Electron transfer produces negative ions called anions and positive ions called cations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The type of chemical bond that forms between positive and negative ions is an ionic bond. Ions (charged atoms) are formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Detailed explanation-3: -The opposite charges on the ions cause the ions to bond, or be held together, by electrostatic forces. An ionic bond is a bond between ions where oppositely charged atoms attract each other and cancel their charges to produce neutral compounds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ionic bonding is the attraction between positively-and negatively-charged ions. These oppositely charged ions attract each other to form ionic networks (or lattices). Electrostatics explains why this happens: opposite charges attract and like charges repel.
