Question

-What results from the chemical reaction illustrated above?
A) a cation with a net charge of +1 
B) a cation with a net charge of -1 
C) an anion with a net charge of +1 
D) an anion with a net charge of -1 
E) a cation with a net charge of +1 and an anion with a net charge of -1

Accepted Answer

The chemical reaction illustrated above likely involves the transfer of electrons, resulting in the formation of both a cation (which has a positive charge due to the loss of electrons) and an anion (which has a negative charge due to the gain of electrons), hence option E is correct.
