What else can I help you with?
Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?
Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.
What charges do the hydroxide and hydrogen ions carry?
Hydrogen Ions carry positive charges. Hydroxide Ions carry negative charges.
What kinds of charges can ions have?
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
Are ions negatively charged?
You can have positive ions and negative ions. For example, take saltwater which dissociates into: Na+ & Cl- Typically the number positive charges and negative charges must balance.
What are the only possible charges of ions?
The only possible charges of ions are whole numbers that result from gaining or losing electrons. For example, common charges include +1, +2, +3 for cations (positively charged ions) and -1, -2, -3 for anions (negatively charged ions).
Do ions posses charges?
Yes, ions are charged molecules by definition. There are two types cations (with positive charges) and anions (with negative charges).
Does current electricity have positive and negative charges?
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
Is it true that in ionic compounds the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion . a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges?
No, it is not true that a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges. You can have, for example, a compound that consists of twice as many positive ions as negative ions, but the positive ions have only half the charge; +1 ions bonded to -2 ions. There are many different possible ratios with which different elements or radicals combine. As long as the total amount of charge adds up to zero, you still have a neutral ionic compound.
What are Molecules that carry positive or negative electrical charges?
Molecules that carry positive or negative electrical charges are called ions. Positively charged ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons.
What is the positive charge of N20?
Ions composed of nitrogen and oxygen are negatively charged, they do not have positive charges.
How can ionic compounds be neutral if they consist of positive and negative ions?
Ionic compounds are neutral because, even though they consist of positive and negative ions, the relative proportions between those ions are such that the total number of negative charges is the same as the total number of positive charges, thus summing to zero.
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
