What is the symbol for the oxygen ion?
the symbol for Oxygen is O, the Oxygen ion is 2-. therefore the symbol for the oxygen ion is O2-
Which atom will form an ion sodium or oxygen?
sodium
What is the formula of the Oxygen ion?
Not O3, which is ozone. But O-2 is the most common ion of oxygen.
What elements form an ion with a charge of 2?
All the elements in Group 2A (Mg, Ca, etc.). A charge of 2+ is acquired by these metals in order for a more stable state to be achieved.
Why does oxygen form with an ion with -2 charge?
A lone, neutral oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell, but this is not very stable, so oxygen will tend to gain 2 more electrons in order to get a full, stable shell of 8 electrons.
How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to gain to form an ion with a 2 charge?
It needs 2 electrons for this. Oxygen makes -2 ion by gaining 2 electrons. It is the most stable ion that oxygen makes.
What is the symbol for the oxygen ion?
the symbol for Oxygen is O, the Oxygen ion is 2-. therefore the symbol for the oxygen ion is O2-
Does oxygen form ionic bonds?
Yes oxygen can form the oxide ion O2-, and the peroxide ion O22-
When copper conbines with oxygen to form copper oxide the charge of the copper ion is?
+2
What ion does a base form in solution?
oxygen
How can you predict that oxygen will form an O2- ion and not an O3- ion?
All of the elements in column six of the periodic table have a 2- charge
What period 2 element is most likely to form an ion with the charge of minus 2?
No clue, mate.
Are chlorine and oxygen an ion compound?
No. Chlorine an oxygen will form covalent compounds.
Which atom will form an ion sodium or oxygen?
sodium
What is the formula of the Oxygen ion?
Not O3, which is ozone. But O-2 is the most common ion of oxygen.
What element can form a positive Ion Is it magnesium or carbon or oxygen or bromine?
Every Group I element (that is, the ones in the first column) have a ... Thus, bromine, oxygen, and carbon thus all form negative ions, while magnesium forms a positive ion (+2)
What is the charge most commonly formed by S?
Sulfur can form the sulfide ion (S2-) and the disulfide ion (S22-) on its own. When combined with oxygen it can form the sulfate ion (SO42-) and sulfite ion (SO32-).
