∙ 11y agoThe total charge of the positive ion/s and the negative ion/s cancel each other so the overall charge of an ionic compound is zero.

Do ions form electrically positive compounds?
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. :)
How can an ionic compound made up of charged particles can be electrically neutral?
Ionic compounds countain both positive and negative ions (they attract to form bonds) Due to this they will balance and become electrically netural
Ionic compounds are electrically?
Charged i will leave urs but this is the correct answer Neutral u guys need 2 make up ur mind
What is the charge of an ionic conpund?
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral, neither positive nor negative, due to presence of both positive and negative ions which cancel out.
Is Na2CO2 ionic or covalent compound?
Na2CO3 is an ionic compound. However, note that it contains covalently bonded carbonate ions, which are not compounds because they are not electrically neutral.

Do ions form electrically negative compounds only true or false?
No. Ions of opposite charges come together to form electrically neutral compounds. A compound cannot carry an electric charge.

What is the smallest electrically neutral collection of ions?
smallest electricallyneutral unit of elements and compounds, composed of two or more atoms/

What differentiates molecules from ions?
Molecules are electrically neutral. Ions have electric charges.
When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is .?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is.?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.

Is Na2CO2 ionic or covalent compound?
Na2CO3 is an ionic compound. However, note that it contains covalently bonded carbonate ions, which are not compounds because they are not electrically neutral.
Is an ionic compound composed of anions and cations but is electrically neutral?
Yes. Ionic compounds contain anions and cations in proportions that balance the charges making samples of the compound electrically neutral. Examples are NaCl, ions Na+ Cl- , proportions 1:1 CaCl2,ions Ca2+ Cl- , proportions 1:2
Do ionic compounds result from the neutral attraction of oppositely charged ions?
Ionic compounds result from the mutual (not neutral) attraction of oppositely charged ions.
