Points

The electronic configuration of many ions is that of the closest noble gas to them in the periodic table.

An anion is an ion that has gained one or more electrons, acquiring a negative charge.

A cation is an ion that has lost one or more electrons, gaining a positive charge

Dear student

Here are several examples of anions:
Bromide - Br -
Chloride - Cl -
Fluoride - F -
Iodide - I -
Nitride - N 3-
Oxide - O 2-
Sulfide - S 2-
An example of a cation would be the sodium cation when it dissociates from chlorine anion. The sodium has its electron taken from it by chlorine, becoming positive. An easy way to remember that cations are the ions with a positive charge is to remember the phrase "cats are positive

Cation vs anion chart

	Cation	Anion
Charge	Positive	Negative
Electrode attracted to	Cathode (negative)	Anode (positive)
Formed by	Metal atoms	Non-metal atoms
Examples	Sodium (Na⁺), Iron (Fe²⁺), Ammonium (NH₄⁺)	Chloride (Cl^-), Bromide (Br^-), Sulfate (SO₄²^-) thank u
