No. Ions of opposite charges come together to form electrically neutral compounds.
A compound cannot carry an electric charge.
Yes, it is correct.
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
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.
N and P for example. Nitrogen will form a N3- the nitride ion.
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
Hydrogen forms one covalent bond in electrically neutral compounds.
Hydrogen forms three covalent bonds in electrically neutral compounds.
Hydrogen forms three covalent bonds in electrically neutral compounds.
false
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.

Ions form electrically neutral compounds by combining in such a way that the total positive charge from cations equals the total negative charge from anions. This occurs through the formation of ionic bonds where oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other and balance out their charges, resulting in a neutral compound.
An ionic compound is electrically neutral overall because the positive charges on the cations are equal to the negative charges on the anions. This balance of charges in the compound ensures that the total charge is zero.

No: sodium forms a positive ion in its ionic compounds.
False. Carbon can form both ionic and covalent compounds. Carbon typically forms covalent bonds due to its ability to share electrons with other elements.
