An atom with a -1 charge is a negatively charge ion (anion) and has has one more electron than it has protons. The most common -1 ions are the halide ions.

How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?

For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.


What is the charge on the lead ion in PbS2?

The charge on the lead ion (Pb) in PbS2 is +2. This is because each sulfur atom (S) has a charge of -2, and since there are two sulfur atoms for every lead atom in lead(IV) sulfide (PbS2), the lead ion must have a charge of +2 to balance out the charges in the compound.


What is the ion charge on sulphate?

The ion charge on sulfate is 2-. This means that the sulfate ion carries a charge of -2.


What is the charge on ion X x2o3?

The charge on ion X in X2O3 is +3. This is because the overall charge of the compound is neutral, and there are three oxygen atoms each with a charge of -2, so the X ion must have a charge of +3 to balance it out.


What is the charge of chromate ion?

The charge is minus 2.


What is the oxidation number of Zn(OH)4 -2?

The oxidation number of Zn in the complex ion Zn(OH)4 2- is +2. This is because the overall charge of the complex ion is -2, and each hydroxide ion (OH-) has a -1 charge. Hence, the zinc (Zn) ion must have a +2 charge to balance the overall charge of the complex ion.


What is the charge on lead in the compound Pb(NO2)2?

The charge on lead in the compound Pb(NO2)2 is +2. This is because each nitrite ion (NO2) has a charge of -1, and there are two nitrite ions binding to the lead ion, therefore the lead ion must have a charge of +2 to balance the -2 charge from the nitrite ions.


What is the charge of SO ion?

Sulfur monoxide is a gaseous compound, NOT an ion; hence it has NO charge.


What is the charge of an NO ion?

The charge of an NO ion is -1. This is because nitrogen typically has a charge of +5 and oxygen typically has a charge of -2, resulting in a charge of -1 for the NO ion.


What charge does Sr form when it forms and ion?

strontium is a metal, therefore it must form only positive ions.


What possible charge can iron acquire as an ion?

Iron can acquire a charge of +2 or +3 as an ion. The +2 charge is more common and is known as ferrous ion, while the +3 charge is less common and is known as ferric ion.
