Ne Cation Or Anion

• Cation-anion balance of a given system is calculated by comparing the total charge of the positive-charged ions (cations) with the total charge of the negative-charged ions (anions). HOW TO CALCULATE THE CATION-ANION BALANCE?
• Before you can answer this question, you must first know two important factors affecting atomic and ionic radii: 1. Number of Shells - Atomic/ionic size increases the number of electronic shells increases.

Neon Cation Or Anion

Ionic radius, r ion, is the radius of a monatomic ion in an ionic crystal structure. Although neither atoms nor ions have sharp boundaries, they are sometimes treated as if they were hard spheres with radii such that the sum of ionic radii of the cation and anion gives the distance between the ions in a crystal lattice.Ionic radii are typically given in units of either picometers (pm). Cations are the positive ions formed by the loss of one or more electrons. The most commonly formed cations of the representative elements are those that involve the loss of all of the valence electrons. Consider the alkali metal sodium (Na). It has one valence electron in the third principal energy level.
