How Does a Cation Differ From an Anion

Image
Anions are larger in size than cations. Anion has more electrons than protons. Cation And Anion Study Cards Christmas Ornaments Novelty Christmas Cations are always smaller than the neutral atom and anions are. . Cations and anions are both ions. Anions react with cations to form neutral molecules. The difference between anion and cation resins is that one is positively charged anion and the other is negatively charged cation. If there are more electrons than protons the species has a negative charge. When an atom acquires one or more electrons there are more electrons than protons and a negatively charged ion anion is formed. But this difference in charge has an impact on how cations and anions behave and react. Anions have more electrons than protons. Atoms differ from ions in that atoms do not have net charge. The difference between cations and anions is of course their charge. The cati...
