What is the function of the counter ion in a complex?
the role of counter ion in a reaction is it make the complex electrically neutral.
How are the salts named?
Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way: [metal] [nonmetal root]-ide Examples: sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride potassium + iodine = potassium iodide Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names: ------------------------------- ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride
A molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion is called?
This name is ligand.
Does an ion give or receive?
An ion can give and receive electrons
What are descriptions of a polyatomic ion?
The word prefix poly- means many. So with the word polyatomic you have multiple atom types. So a polyatomic ion is an ion with multiple types of atoms in it. A polyatomic ion is composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered as acting as a single unit in the context of acid and base chemistry or in the formation of salts.
Give one example of a complex ion with its formula?
Examples: - [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 - (C5H5)Fe(CO2)CH3
Is CH4 a complex ion?
No. Firstly CH4 is neutral, i.e. it is not an ion. Secondly, it is not exactly complex.
What is the function of the counter ion in a complex?
the role of counter ion in a reaction is it make the complex electrically neutral.
What is mineral ion?
ions that plants need for supprt and growth

Difference between Double salt and Complex salts?
Even though, both double and complex salts contain two metal ions and may be large salts with have many anions attached to them. They differ in one basic way, when dissolved double salts break down to give it constituent ions, whereas complex salts does not break down in the same manner. Rather when dissolved complex salts give the cation and a complex ion. Also, when double salts are tested for presence of their constituent ions, for example KClMgCl.6H2O when tested for presence of K, will give a positive result, whereas a complex ion would not.

What is a molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion called?
This species is known as a ligand.
Define and ion and explain how an ion is formed?
An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons is a ion.
What general term would you give the element if it lost 3 electrons?
This is called a trivalent metal ion. Examples: Al3+, Fe3+, etc.
