About this document
Chloride and Potassium Ions Explained by Kennard LIONG is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Ions are atoms with a positive or negative charge formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Cations are positively charged ions and anions are negatively charged ions. Ionic compounds form when cations and anions combine and bond via electrostatic attraction between opposite charges. For example, potassium (K+) cations and chloride (Cl-) anions combine to form potassium chloride (KCl), an ionic compound. The mole is a unit used to express amounts of substances and represents 6.022x10^23 atoms or molecules.
