The Science and Utility of Anionic Substances An anionic substance is a chemical species characterized by a . This charge is acquired when a neutral atom or molecule gains one or more electrons, causing it to have more negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons. 1. Fundamental Formation
: Formed from a single atom, such as Chloride ( Cl−cap C l raised to the negative power ) or Fluoride ( F−cap F raised to the negative power anionic
: Groups of atoms that carry a net negative charge, such as Sulfate ( SO42−cap S cap O sub 4 raised to the 2 minus power ) or Carbonate ( CO32−cap C cap O sub 3 raised to the 2 minus power 2. Practical Applications The Science and Utility of Anionic Substances An
