Negative. Hydroxide atoms also don't exist, they're molecules. They consist of two atoms, one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The charge is -1 on the oxygen.
I think it is a positive charge!!
The hydroxide ion, OH-, has a negative charge of 1-.
HO is a molecule containing positive Hydrogen Oxygen atoms. OH is a molecule containing negative Hydrogen Oxygen atoms. Both are ions, HO+ is Hydroxide, OH- is Oxyhydride(what they call hydroxide salts)
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
negative,positive,none
yes
Atoms do not have positive and negative ends.Molecules, which are made up of several atoms, can be positive at one end and negative at the other; these are called "polar" molecules. The most common polar molecule is water, made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; H2O.
Normally atoms are neutral.
Loss or gain of electrons.
Yes, if they are ions
Hydrogen Ions carry positive charges. Hydroxide Ions carry negative charges.
