both. no plant can live without it, having to use photosynthesis to get food. there are also downsides, the polar ice caps are melting which is causing the sea level to rise therefore changing the weather
Also it has no charge it's a compound not an ion.

∙ 7y agoNot in general. Carbon atoms can have either a net positive (carbocation) or negative (carbanion) charge.
Carbocation is pronounced car bo cat ion, not 'carbocashun'.

Is NITROGEN a positive or negative ion?
It is a negative ion.Its charge is 3-
Is an isotope nitrogen a positive charge or negative charge?
Isotopes do not carry electrical charges, ions do.The ion formed by nitrogen is called the nitride ion (N3-) and carries a negative charge.
Hydroxide positive or negative?
I think it is a positive charge!!
What is it called when positive and negative charges transmit energy?
Because in an unbalanced system, the positive end a positive charge, and the negaticve end has a negative charge. Though current (which is reletive to the "positiveness" of an area) flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.
Why does Nitrate have a negative charge?
Nitrate has a negative charge because Nitrogen and Oxygen both have negative charges. Electrons are negative and Protons are positive. You can never gain or lose protons, only electrons. Because Nitrogen wants, as all elements do, to have a full shell of outer (valence) electrons so that it can have the same arrangement as its closest noble gas (Neon), Nitrogen needs to gain 3 electrons. If you have 0 + -3 then what do you have? A negative number. It is the same for electrons because they have a negative charge. If you gain electrons, then you end up with more negative atomic particles than positive atomic particles (protons). Why you have a negative charge is because you have gained a negitive particle, the electron. Going from neutral (having the same protons as electrons) to negative (having more electrons than protons). Hope that wasn't too confusing. -Jahna
Is NITROGEN a positive or negative ion?

Does nitrogen monoxide have one positive or one negative charge?
Negative
Is an isotope nitrogen a positive charge or negative charge?

What is positive about NH3 Nitrogen has a strong positive charge hydrogen is negative or they are covalently bonded?
they are covalently bonded
Does NH2 have partial negative charge?
In most compounds, the nitrogen in NH2 has a partial negative charge while the hydrogen each carry a partial positive charge. It can also exist as the Amide ion with a full negative charge.
What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
What is the charge of anion?
A cation has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
What charge electron charge positive or negative?
Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.
Is nitrogen positive or negative?
Nitrogen is negatively charged.
What is the difference between a negative and a positive?
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?
Electrons have a negative charge; Protons have a positive charge; and neutrons have no charge.
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
