Is a compound formed by two positive elements?
No, two positives are repelling, not attracting. No. Compounds are formed by two or more different elements. An ionic compound is formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Molecular compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms, which is called a covalent bond.
What effects do oppositely charged particles have on each other?
Oppositely charged particles attract each other due to the electrostatic force. This force causes them to move towards each other and eventually bond together to form neutral compounds, like in the case of ions in salt crystals.
Why neutral bodies attract positively charged bodies?
no
Are compounds neutrally charged?
Yes, compounds are electrically neutral. Though the term "neutrally charged" is self contradicting as something that is neutral has no charge.
Can objects become charged by induction?
Yes, objects can become charged by induction. When a charged object is brought near a neutral object, the charges in the neutral object rearrange, causing one side to become oppositely charged. This process is known as induction, and it can result in the neutral object becoming charged temporarily.
What is the overall charge of most compounds?
Compounds can be charged by different methods. But naturally most of the compounds are uncharged. So the overall charge of most compounds is neutral.
All compounds are neutral.?
Compounds can be neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged. The overall charge of a compound depends on the balance between the positively and negatively charged ions or atoms that make it up.
What is that charging a neutral object by bringing it close to a charging object?
Charging a neutral object by bringing it close to a charged object is known as charging by induction. When a charged object is brought near a neutral object, the charges in the neutral object are rearranged, causing one side to become oppositely charged to the charged object, resulting in an overall charge on the neutral object.
What are Compounds made up of positive and negative ions called?
Compounds made up of positive and negative ions are called ionic compounds. These compounds form as a result of the attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged anions, resulting in a neutral overall charge. Examples include table salt (sodium chloride) and calcium carbonate.
Does water have oppositely charged ions?
Yes. Hydrogen ions, H+, and hydroxide ions, OH-. Add them and you'll get H2O (which is neutral).
Do a negativity charged and neutral object repel?
No. But they can attract each other, provided the neutral object is a metal, in which case the negatively charged object will induce charges on it to cause the attraction.
Binary ionic compounds are called salts?
yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
