It could be either. Once a metal produces an ion (an atom with electric charge) it could be positive or negative, depending on number of electrons lost or gained.
sodiumtetrahydoxylaluminate(Na(alOH4))
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
False. In an ionic compound, the positive ion (typically a metal) is usually named first, followed by the negative ion (typically a nonmetal).
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
it is a negative and positve ion sweg
An ion's charge will be either positive or negative, but not both. The charges are mutually exclusive. A positive ion is called a cation, and a negative ion is called an anion.
It's NOT the metal as such but positive ion of the metal: Potassium, the K+ ion together with the negative chloride ion: Cl- they form the salt potassium chloride: KCl You see, it's always in the name of the salt
To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
negative
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
Sodium chloride is very useful. Sodium ion is the positive ion.
