Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).

They are both ions and both can form an ionic compound


How are ions and polyatomic ion different?

Ions are charged particles formed by gaining or losing electrons, while polyatomic ions are charged groups of atoms that remain together and carry a net charge. Polyatomic ions contain multiple atoms bonded together, whereas ions can be a single atom or a group of atoms.

How many doner atoms in EDTA?

In the EDTA molecule, there are a total of 6 donor atoms. These donor atoms are the oxygen atoms from the four carboxylate groups and the two nitrogen atoms from the amine groups. These donor atoms are responsible for chelating metal ions.


Are Ions charged atoms or groups of atoms?

Either one. You can have an ionized atom or an ionized molecule. Many ionized molecules are radicals that had been part of a larger molecule and the event that separated them also ionized the radical. This is what free radicalsare.


Can you add prefixes to polyatomic ions?

No, you cannot add prefixes to polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions are groups of bonded atoms that carry a charge and have specific names that are used in chemical nomenclature. These names do not require prefixes to indicate the number of atoms present.


What is a polyatomic number?

There is no such thing. There are polyatomic ions, which are positively or negatively charged, covelantly bonded groups of atoms, though.


What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?

A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.

Do ions consist of more than one atom?

No, ions are charged particles that can be either single atoms or groups of atoms. When an ion consists of a single atom, it is called a monatomic ion, such as Na+ or Cl-. When an ion consists of a group of atoms bonded together, it is called a polyatomic ion, such as SO4^2- or NH4+.
