Which polyatomic ions has a positive charge?
ammonium
What are the polyatomic ions?
polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.
Polyatomic ions always carry a positive charge?
False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
Are polyatomic ions positively charged?
Most polyatomic ions have a negative charge. There are only 2 positive polyatomic ions; Mercury(I) ion and Ammonium ion. False.
Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of what?
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
How are cations anions monoatomic ions and polyatomic ions the same and different?
Cations are positive ions (Fe2+, NH4+).Anions are negative ions (Cl-, (SO4)2-).Fe2+ is a monoatomic ion and (NH4)+ is a polyatomic Ion (contain more than one element).
Are a vast majority of polyatomic ions cations?
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as what?
Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as polyatomic ions. These ions are composed of multiple atoms that are covalently bonded together, but have an overall charge due to the loss or gain of electrons. They can have a positive or negative charge depending on the number of electrons gained or lost.
What is the function of polyatomic ions?
Any special functions; they only exist.
How are ions and polyatomic ion different?
Ions are charged particles formed by gaining or losing electrons, while polyatomic ions are charged groups of atoms that remain together and carry a net charge. Polyatomic ions contain multiple atoms bonded together, whereas ions can be a single atom or a group of atoms.
Predominantly what type of bonding is within polyatomic ions?
Covalent bonding is predominantly within polyatomic ions.
How are polyatomic ions similar to their constituent ions?
They are not similar.
