Non Metal elements.
Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
The ammonium ion, NH4+, is the only polyatomic cation.
i believe it represents the overall charge after the atom becomes an ion
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
One example is the water molecule, H2O, which contains hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Another example is the ammonia molecule, NH3, which contains nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. Both of these molecules are polyatomic molecules with atoms of different elements.
The molecule with the chemical formula Li2SO4 contains two lithium (Li) atoms, one sulfur (S) atom, and four oxygen (O) atoms. The lithium atoms have a +1 charge, the sulfur atom has a +6 charge, and the oxygen atoms have a -2 charge each.
They become anions, with negative electrical charge.
The number of atoms in an ion depends on the type and charge of the ion. An ion is an atom that has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. Ions can consist of one or multiple atoms bonded together.
The individual charges - usually called "negative" and "positive" - cancel one another out. You can use the rules for adding numbers with these charges. For example, the charge of one electron (-1) and the charge of one proton (+1) cancel out, since (-1) + (+1) = 0.
Ion
You take an electron from an atom, or force one into it
Atoms in their stable state have equal number of protons and electrons.If an atom loses one electron, it gains one positive charge- electrophile in terms or organic chemistry. If an atom gains one electrons it has overall negative charge or no charge if the incoming electron completes the valence occupancy.
