negative
Copper is the cation (+) and sulfur the anion (-).
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.
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Sulfur can exist in different oxidation states and form both negative (sulfide ion, S^2-) and positive ions (sulfate ion, SO4^2-).
The positive ion for CaS is Ca^2+ (calcium ion) and the negative ion is S^2- (sulfide ion).
The negative ion of lithium sulfide is sulfide ion (S2-). This is formed when lithium sulfide (Li2S) dissociates into its ions in solution.
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
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.
Negative ions go to a positive electrode.
No. Sulfur typically forms negative ions (sulfide ions) by gaining two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
These are ions: positive (cations) and negative (anions).
Positive and negative ions can be found in both organic and inorganic chemistry.
