Two atoms interact with each other to form an ionic bond. At the end of this bond, one of the ions has a negative charge, while one has a positive charge. Which of these two atoms (+ or -) is the anion, and which is the cation? Anion = _____ Cation = _____ 5. Given the following information, please state if each substance is an acid or a base. Solution A: Increases the OH- concentration when added to water. Is Solution A an Acid or a Base? _____________________ Solution B: Decreases the pH when added to water. Is Solution B an Acid or a Base? _____________________ Solution C: Increases the pH when added to water.
