Question

Atoms that have become negatively charged by gaining extra electrons are called _____. anions anodes cations cathodes

Answer 1

Anions: negatively charged atoms

Cations: positively charged atoms (CAT-ions are PAWS-itively charged)
Anode: positively charged electrode that allows electrical current flow (positive end of battery)
Cathode: negatively charged electrode that allows electrical current flow (negative end of batter)

Answer 2

Answer:

Anions

Explanation:

Anions : Anions are defined as the atoms or the radicals. Atoms that have become negatively charged by gaining extra electrons are anions. For example, bromide ion (Br⁻), chloride ion (Cl⁻).

Anodes : The positively charged electrode by which an electron leave a device is called an anode.

Cations : They are the positively charged particle. For example silver ion (Ag⁺).

Cathodes : The negatively charged electrode by which an electron enter an device is called an cathodes.

Hence, the correct option is (a) " anions ".
