What is Understanding Ions: Cations and Anions about?
IONS are atoms or molecules with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of electrons, resulting in cations (positively charged) and anions (negatively charged). Sodium forms a cation by losing an electron, while chlorine forms an anion by gaining an electron. The movement of electrons can enhance conductivity, as seen when table salt is dissolved in water, allowing electricity to pass through due to free-moving ions.
