What are the negative and positive ions in copper sulfide?
Copper is the cation (+) and sulfur the anion (-).
Why is an iron ion is attracted to a sulfide but not a zine ion?
An iron ion and a sulfide ion have positive and negative charges respectively, and they attract each other. But having positive charges in both, iron ions do not attract with zinc ions.
Is Potassium Sulfide negatively charged?
Potassium sulfide (K₂S) is not negatively charged; it is an ionic compound composed of positively charged potassium ions (K⁺) and negatively charged sulfide ions (S²⁻). In this compound, the overall charge is neutral because the positive charges of the two potassium ions balance the negative charge of the sulfide ion. Thus, while the sulfide ion carries a negative charge, the compound itself is neutral.
Is sulfur a negative or positive ion?
Sulfur can exist in different oxidation states and form both negative (sulfide ion, S^2-) and positive ions (sulfate ion, SO4^2-).
How do you write the positive ion and negative ion for CaS?
The positive ion for CaS is Ca^2+ (calcium ion) and the negative ion is S^2- (sulfide ion).
What is the negative ion of lithium sulfide?
The negative ion of lithium sulfide is sulfide ion (S2-). This is formed when lithium sulfide (Li2S) dissociates into its ions in solution.
What is the difference between a negative and a positive?
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
What kinds of charges can ions have?
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
Why do you need two sodium ions for every sulfide ion in sodium sulfide?
In sodium sulfide (Na2S), two sodium ions are needed for every sulfide ion to balance the charges. Sodium has a +1 charge, and sulfide has a -2 charge. By having two sodium ions (each with a +1 charge) for every sulfide ion (with a -2 charge), the overall compound achieves charge neutrality.
Would sulfur become a positive ion before bonding yes or no?
No. Sulfur typically forms negative ions (sulfide ions) by gaining two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Where do the negative ions go?
Negative ions go to a positive electrode.
What has a positive or negative charge?
These are ions: positive (cations) and negative (anions).
