What is the charge on the ion that selenium form ionic compound?

selenium has a -2 charge. when it forms a compound with another atom the charge of the compound should be zero unless it has a cahrge in its equation. when compounds form they try to be in the most stable state which is when all their valance elctrons are full which means the charge is zero.

When ions having a positively charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
Is CaS a covalent compound?
Ca (calcium) is an element, not a compound. and it can only form ionic compounds.
A chemical compound made of oppositely charged ions?
A cation is a positive ion and an anion is a negative ion. So the compound you are describing as an ionic one. For example, Cation + Anion --> Ionic Compound Fe3++ O2- --> Fe2O3
What is the ionic bond Magnesium and Iodine?
Magnesium and iodine react to form the ionic compound magnesium iodide - MgI2.
What type of bond will strontium and sulfur form?
Strontium is an earth metal (element #38), and iodine is a halide non-metal (element #53), therefore they would form an ionic bond. Strontium ions have a +2 charge, and iodines -1, so to form a neutral-charged compound, we need 2 iodines for every Strontium, and the chemical formula would be: SrI2.
What element will bond to form an ionic compound with K?
Potassium will form ionic compound with group 17 elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) and group 16 elements (oxygen, sulphur, selenium).
Is MgF an ionic compound or a covalent compound?
MgF2 Magnesium, an alkaline earth metal of 2+ ionic charge and two fluorine, a nonmetal, atoms of 1- charge each form a ionic bond
In what form can a Ionic compound conduct electricty?
In aqueous form, the ionic compounds dissolve into there separate ions, and the charge can be transferred between the ions
How would Ca and Cl would make an ionic compound?
Calcium would form Ca2+ and chlorine would form Cl-. The ionic compound would be CaCl2 to ensure a neutral charge for the whole compound.
Does selenium have a positive or negative charge?
Selenium form anions.
When ions having a positively charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
Will iron and chlorine form a ionic compound?
yes it will form an ionic compound.
What would an aluminum atom tend to do in bonding with another atom to form an ionic compound?
When aluminum forms an ionic compound, it tends to take the form of a cation with a +3 charge. This would happen because it would donate three of its electrons to the anion(s) it forms the ionic compound with.
What is the charge of NaOH or lye?
Sodium hydroxide, or lye, does not have a charge. It is an ionic compound composed of sodium 1+ and hydroxide 1- ions. When they combine to form the ionic compound sodium hydroxide, the 1+ and 1- charges cancel each other and the compound is neutral.
How do you form an ionic compound?
Combination of a metal with a non metal will form an ionic compound.
What happens to a sodium atom that has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
How many bromide ions can combine with one ion of barium to form an ionic compound?
Two bromide ions can combine with one barium cation to form an ionic compound, because a barium cation has an electrical charge of +2, while a bromide anion has an electrical charge of -1.
