No. No compound is electrically charged. An ionic compounds contains both positive and negative ions. The ratios between the numbers of these ions is always such that they balance out to zero net charge.

Do ionic compound's or covalent molecole's conduct electicity?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity in aqueous solution or molten state. In aq. soln. or molten state, ionic compounds dissociate to release respective ions. These ions, being electrically charged, conduct electricity.


What bond is made of electrically charged atoms?

Ionic bond


Do ionic compounds result from the neutral attraction of oppositely charged ions?

Ionic compounds result from the mutual (not neutral) attraction of oppositely charged ions.


Do IONIC COMPOUNDS need to be positively charged?

No they are not positively charged. Ionic bonds comprise of anions and cations.


Why are ionic compounds able to conduct electricity?

Ionic compounds can conduct electricity when in a molten state or dissolved in water because their ions are able to move freely and carry electric charge. In solid form, ions are locked in place and unable to conduct electricity.


Are ionic compounds positivly charged?

no, as ionic compounds contain equal amounts of negative and positive charges and are neutral.


Are binary ionic compounds also called metals?

No, binary ionic compounds are made up of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions. While metals can form ionic compounds with nonmetals, not all metals are involved in forming binary ionic compounds.


What is the makeup of an ionic compound?

Ionic compounds are formed by the combination of positively charged ions (cations) with negatively charged ions (anions). The cations are typically metal atoms that have lost electrons, while the anions are nonmetal atoms that have gained electrons. The ratio of cations to anions in an ionic compound is such that the overall compound is electrically neutral.


When dissolved in a suitable medium this forms electrically charged particles?

All compounds are positively charged?

Atoms have equal # of protons(+) and electrons (-). Hence the atom has zero charge. If we consider just the nucleus, the charge would be positive because it only consists of protons
