Ion difference between hydroxide and hydrogen?
Hydroxide is OH- it is a negative ion consisting of a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom covalently bound together. The hydrogen ion is H+ indicating a single hydrogen atom with a positive charge. However, it rarely exists on its own. In an aqueous solution it bonds with a water molecule to form the hydronium ion, H3O+
Why is hydrogen H plus?
Hydrogen (H) is not the same as the Hydrogen ion H+. H+ is the term for a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron. Since the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons, it is called an ion. Since the hydrogen atom is comprised of one proton and one electron, the hydrogen ion H+ is simply a proton.
What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
The loss or gain of electrons transform an atom in an ion.
What is a hydroxide ion?
an hydroxide ion has one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom therefore it is an ion because it has a negative charge. poitive charged molecules are called cations.
What is hydrogen ions and will take as many as possible?
When hydrogen loses one electron from its 1s atomic orbital, then it forms hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ion only take that atom which has only -1 valency .
Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion?
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
Does a hydrogen ion is a negatively charged hydrogen atom?
No, typically hydrogen forms a positive ion.
What charge is near the hydrogen atom?
The neutral hydrogen atom is neutral; the ion (H+) is positive.
A ion is an atom that does what?
i think it contains hydrogen

How many bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen in a hydroxide atom?
First, it is the hydroxide ion, not hydroxide atom. In this ion there is only a single bond between the hydrogen and oxygen.
What kind of atom has a name change when it becomes an ion?
You think probably to hydrogen:- the ion H+ is called hydron- the hydrated form of H+ is called hydronium - H3O+

What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
The loss or gain of electrons transform an atom in an ion.
When hydrogen loses atoms what is formed?
Hydrogen itself is an atom. If that hydrogen atom were to lose/gain/share electrons it would become an isotope/ ion
How many protons are in hydroxide ion?
The hydroxide ion is OH-. There is one proton in a hydrogen atom and eight in an oxygen atom. Therefore, there are 9 protons in a hydroxide ion.
