Question

14/53
what is the name for an ion with a negative charge?
anion
onion
union
cation

Explanation:

An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. A negatively - charged ion is called an anion. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons. For example, when a chlorine atom gains an electron, it forms a chloride anion (\(Cl^-\)).
On the other hand, a cation is a positively - charged ion (formed by electron loss), an onion is a vegetable, and a union is a group of people or organizations joined together for a common purpose.

Answer:

anion
