Description

Anions are negatively charged particles (atoms or molecules). Anions have one or more electrons more than the corresponding atoms or molecules. The model depicts the formation of the chlorine anion Cl + e- → Cl-.

Both ions (cations and anions) compose ionic compounds. Cations and anions are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces.
