True. In ionic compounds, atoms transfer electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions), but the total charge of the compound remains neutral.

Treu or false Atoms have a positive charge?

An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.


True or false the first element in a compound should have no charge?

False, all compounds are electrically neutral.


What True or false a compound has the same properties of the elements that formed it?

False. A compound exhibits properties that are different from the elements that formed it due to the new chemical bonds and interactions between atoms in the compound.


True or false a compound whose molecules contain one boron atom and three fluorine atoms would be named monoboron fluoride?

False: A compound whose molecules contain one boron atom and three fluorine atoms would be named "monoboron trifluoride" or simply "boron trifluoride".


Compared with the neutral atoms involved in the formation of an ionic compound the crystal lattice that results is?

In an ionic compound, neutral atoms lose or gain electrons to form charged ions, which are then arranged in a repeating pattern known as a crystal lattice. This lattice structure is held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions.


When ions having a positively charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is?

The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.


A given compound usually contains the same relative number of atoms of its various elements true or false?

Today this affirmation is not generally valid.


Is most atoms have more electrons than proton false or true?

False. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. This balance between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is what keeps the atom electrically neutral.


Is it true or false when a compound is formed by two or more atoms of different elements joining the outer electron shell of the compound is completely filled with electrons.?

true


Salt is formed from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative A True B False?

B. False. Salt (sodium chloride) is a neutral compound formed from the combination of a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. The overall charge of salt remains neutral.


True or false a compound that contains hydrogen atoms will be an acid when dissolved in water?

False. In order for a compound to be acidic, it must have contain hydrogen atoms that are ionized in aqueous solution. Not all hydrogen atoms in compounds behave this way. For instance, the organic compound methane contains hydrogen but is not an acid. Ammonia also contains hydrogen, but it typically acts as a base, not an acid.


Neutral atoms contain the same number of protons as?

...the number of electrons. This balance between positive protons and negative electrons gives the atom a neutral charge overall.
