IONS-CATION & ANIONS


IONS:-
Ionic Compounds composed of metals & non-metals contain charged species. The charged species are known as ions. Ions may consist of a single charged atom (Simple ions) or group of atoms that have net charge on them (Polyatomic ions)
An ion can be positively or negatively charged. Hence , ions are of two types


Types of ions:-
1) Cations- are ions with positive charge. The magnitude of positive charge is equal to number of electrons lost.
They are further categorized as:–
i)Univalent cation(Monovalent cations) – Carrying unit positive charge – Na+, H+ & K+ etc
M   - 1e- à M+( Univalent cation  )
ii)Bivalent ions (Divalent) :- Carrying two unit positive charge:- Mg2+, Ca2+  & Ba2+ etc
M – 2e- à M2+(Bivalent cation )
iii) Polyvalent ions :- Carrying more than two unit  positive charge :-
M – ne-  à Mn+
Trivalent Cations :- Al3+, Ga3+ & B3+
Tetravalent cations :- Pb2+, Sn4+ etc
2) Anions – are ions carrying negative charge. The magnitude of negative charge is equal to number of electrons gained
They are further categorized as:-  
i) Univalent anions – Carrying unit negative charge:- Cl-, Br- & I- etc
X + 1e - à X-
ii) Bivalent(Divalent anions) :- Carrying two unit negative charge :- O2-, S2- & SO42- etc
X + 2e-  à X2-
iii) Polyvalent anions:- Carrying more than two unit negative charge:- PO43-  & BO33-  etc
X +  3e-  à X3-

NOTE :-
Valency :- The combining power( or capacity) of an element is known as its valency
Valence electrons:- Number of electrons present in the valence shell ( or Outer most shell ) of an atom
Polyatomic ion :- are group of atoms carrying a net charge. They contain more than one type of element -as Phosphate ions- Contains O & P element , Sulphate ion( Contains S & O) , Bicarbonate ion ( Contain H,C& O ) etc

Electrochemical Cell

Electrochemical cell :-

  • An electrochemical cell is a device that converts the chemical energy into electrical energy of a spontaneous redox reaction. (Definition ) 
  • Here Gibbs free energy of the spontaneous redox reaction is converted into electrical work which may be used for running a motor or other electrical gadgets like geyser, fan , heater etc 
  •  Electrochemical or Voltaic(galvanic) cells are of a type that produce electric current as a result of chemical reaction 
  • Apparatus:- Electrochemical cell consists of -Two electrodes usually set up in two separate beakers. The electrolytes taken in the two beakers are different. The electrodes taken are of different materials. To set up this cell , a salt bridge/porous pot is used. 
  • Sign Convention :- Anode (-ve pole) & cathode(+ve pole) 
  • Cell Diagram :- 

    salt Bridge :- Necessity to use salt bridge 

  • It is a U-shaped tube that contains a gel permeated with a solution of an inert electrolyte such as Sodium sulphate, potassium nitrate or potassium sulphate etc  . The ions of the inert electrolyte do not react with the other ions in the solution & they are not oxidised or reduced at the electrodes. The salt-bridge is necessary to complete the electrical circuit & to maintain electrical neutrality in both compartments ( by flow of ions)

Chemical reaction involved in electrochemical cell

Facts :- 

  1. If the external potential applied becomes greater than internal one then cell behaves as an electrolytic cell & thus the direction of flow of current is reversed 
  2. The potential difference between the two electrodes of a galvanic cell is called cell potential & is measured in Volts.It is called emf of the cell when no current is drawn through the cell.
  3. For Daniell cell, the cell potential is -1.1V . 
  4. Ecell= Eright - E left
  5. Measurement of electrode potential is done by using SHE( standard Hydrogen Electrode)
