Making Cations and Anions with Specific Charges How was each ion formed?

Making Cations and Anions with Specific Charges
How was each ion formed? Move each action to the resulting net charge.
(Note: Carbon does not form all these charges in real life.)
+2 Net Charge
+4 Net Charge
-2 Net Charge
-4 Net Charge
Drag each item to the correct category above.
adding two electrons
adding four electrons
removing two electrons
removing four electrons

Answer

  1. +2 Net Charge: removing two electrons.
  2. +4 Net Charge: removing four electrons.
  3. -2 Net Charge: adding two electrons.
  4. -4 Net Charge: adding four electrons.

Electrons carry negative charge, so adding them makes an atom negative and removing them makes it positive.
