Fe 2+ is Ferrous
Fe 3+ is Ferric
That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions. Cations have a net positive charge because they have lost electrons, while anions have a net negative charge because they have gained electrons.
A positive ion, which is the same thing as "an ion with a positive charge", is called a "cation".
Ions with a positive charge are called cations. Common cations include hydrogen ions (H+), sodium ions (Na+), and calcium ions (Ca2+).
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
two elements with ions with a 2 plus charge are Sulfurand Oxygen
The neutral atom of plutonium has no charge.
positive ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
A positivley charged ion, will produce a charge called Cation and negativley charged ions produce a charge called a anion. YOU'RE WELCOME.
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
