a charged group of two or more nonmedal atoms is called a?
A carbonate ion (CO3^2-) has a charge of -2. Since sodium ions (Na+) have a charge of +1, two sodium ions are needed to make a carbonate ion electrically neutral.
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
Ions form electrically neutral compounds by combining in such a way that the total positive charge from cations equals the total negative charge from anions. This occurs through the formation of ionic bonds where oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other and balance out their charges, resulting in a neutral compound.
Water is electrically neutral because it contains equal numbers of positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) and negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-). These ions balance each other out, resulting in no overall charge in the water molecule.
No. Ions of opposite charges come together to form electrically neutral compounds. A compound cannot carry an electric charge.
The compound KI, which consists of potassium (K+) and iodide (I-) ions, is electrically neutral because the positive charge of the potassium ion balances out the negative charge of the iodide ion. This results in an overall neutral compound.
There is no charge. All compounds are electrically neutral. If you mean the charges of the component ions, copper carries a 2+ charge and the hydroxide ions carry a 1- charge.
The compound KI is called potassium iodide. It is electrically neutral because it is composed of potassium ions (K⁺) and iodide ions (I⁻), which carry equal but opposite charges. The positive charge of one potassium ion balances the negative charge of one iodide ion, resulting in an overall neutral compound.
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
You would need one magnesium ion (Mg^2+) and two oxygen ions (O^2-) to form an electrically neutral compound like magnesium oxide (MgO). The 2+ charge on the magnesium ion balances the 2- charge of the two oxygen ions, resulting in a neutral compound.
