Give the names of the cation in each of the following compounds: a. CuS b. Ag2SO4 c. Al(ClO3)3 d. CO(OH)2 e. PbCO3.

a. Cu2+  (Copper (II) ion )   b. 2Ag+ ( Silver ion)  c. Al3+ (Aluminium (III) ion)  d. Co2+  ( Cobalt (II) ion)   e. Pb2+ ( Lead (II) ion )

Explanation:

Cations are positively charged ions.

In the question given;

CuS , known as Copper (ii) Sulphide, has Cu2+ (Copper (II) ion ) as the Cation.

Ag2SO4, Known as Silver Sulfate, has 2Ag+ ( Silver ion) as the Cation.

Al(ClO3)3, known as Aluminium Chlorate, has Al3+ (Aluminium (III) ion), as the Cation.

Co(OH)2, known as Cobalt(II) Hydroxide, has Co2+ ( Cobalt (II) ion) , as the Cation.

PbCO3, known as Lead(II) Carbonate, has Pb2+ ( Lead (II) ion ), as the Cation.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (solid gold);

since electrons are negative the answer is neagtaive
