Description
Anions are negatively charged ions. When a neutral atom gains an electron, it forms an anion. In the periodic table, p-block elements or nonmetals have a tendency to accept electrons due to their electronegative nature. Non-metals form anions easily by gaining electrons, and the energy released by the addition of electrons is known as electron affinity. These negatively charged ions can be monoatomic, diatomic, or polyatomic ions, depending on the number of atoms in the anion.
Salts are obtained by complete or partial neutralization of an acid with a base or vice-versa. In the formation of a salt, the part contributed by the acid is called an anion, and the part contributed by the base is called a cation. For example, in the case of Na2SO4 and KCl, Na+ and K+ ions are cations or basic radicals and SO42− and Cl− ions are anions or acidic radicals.
Characteristic tests are carried out to detect the presence of anions in the compound. Tests are of two types positive and negative. While doing a test, one is concerned with the formation or disappearance of (i) colour, (ii) a precipitate, and (iii) a gas. If a test is done and it gives the same results as given in the procedure, it means that the test is a positive one and shows the presence of a certain radical.
