b) an anion

c) a positron

d) a cation

Expert Solution

This question focuses on the understanding of the terminology being ask.

To start at the beginning, an ion is an atom or molecule in which the number of electrons and protons are not equal, so if it has more electrons, it will have a negative charge and if it has more protons, it will have a positive charge.

An anion is an ion that has more electrons than protons, so it has a negative charge overall.

A cation is an ion that has more proton than electrons, so it has a positive charge.

The others do not pertain to this subject mater.

The correct answer is d) a cation is a positively charged electrolyte.
