Yes, if a transfer of electrons occurs. The charge depends on the element's position on the Periodic Table: when forming ions, elements will lose or gain electrons until their electron configurations match those of the noble gas in their row. For example, if Chlorine (Cl2), which is in row 7A, becomes an ion, it will try to achieve a similar electron configuration to Argon (Ar), which is in column 8A (Noble Gasses). To do this, it will gain one electron, going from 17 electrons to 18. This will give the Chlorine molecule a negative charge, making it an ion. Other types of substances, such as atoms, or molecules made of atoms and other molecules, can also become ions.

What is a substance when electrons are taken away from it?
Removing electrons from an atom of any element cause it to become a positively charged ion of that element.
How is an ion different from an atom of the same substance?
an ion has a full "shell"

Is CO2 a carbonate?
No. A carbonate is a substance that contains either the carbonate ion or the bicarbonate ion.
Is iodide a pure substance?
Iodide is an ion, not s a substance int its own right. It is however a component of many pure substances. Iodine, the element from which the iodide ion is derived, is a pure substance.
What does the hydronium ion concentration measure for a substance?
The hydronium ion concentration measures how acidic a substance is. A high hydronium ion concentration means the substance is acidic. A low hydronium ion concentration means the substance is basic. You may be more familiar thinking of it as the pH scale. At pH = 7 [H3O]+ = 10-7 and [OH]- = 10-7
How could you detect the presence of the l negative ion?
Add some kind of substance, and then if this forms or does not form a substance it will prove whether the I negative ion is in the presence.
What is a substance that yields a hydrogen ion when placed in a water solution called?
This substance is an acid.
What does the oxidation number tell you about the ion?
It tells u how many of that ion there is for that substance or item. Have a great day.
Does aluminum become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?
No, aluminum does not become a negative ion; like all metals, it forms a positive ion.
