Identifying Cations in Solution (HSC SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

Positively charged ions

Cation but not a metal ion

Electrons excited then return to ground state, emit light

Brick-red

Pale green

$\text{Mg}^{2+}$ and $\text{Ag}^+$

Brown precipitate

Deep blue solution

Deep red (blood red) solution

Both electrons come from the ligand
