Oxygen the element.
No, O2 is a molecule. However there are oxide ion (O2-), the peroxide ion (O22-), and the superoxide ion (O2-).
2 Hydrogen ions and 1 Oxygen ion
Oxygen
Oxide itself is not an element, it is an ion.But oxygen is an element.Oxide (O2-) the the main ion formed by oxygen.An oxide can also be an oxygen containing compound.
No, the name of an oxyanion is not based on the amount of a metal in the ion. The name of an oxyanion is determined by the oxidation state of the element and the number of oxygen atoms in the ion. The metal in the ion may play a role in determining the charge or oxidation state of the element, but it does not directly determine the name of the oxyanion.
No clue, mate.
Basically, an ion is when the charge of an element is not what it would normally be. So if you took oxygen, which is naturally a -2 charge, and it lost an electron, it would become an oxygen ion with a charge of -1.
The metal become a cation.
A positively charged ion of oxygen
A polyatomic ion is an ion containing two or more atoms, usually of more than one element. An example is the nitrate ion. (NO−3 - ) This is 1 nitrogen with 3 oxygen's attached and bears a charge of 1-. The most common polyatomic ions are anions that contain oxygen attached to some other element called an oxoanion and are typically combinations of oxygen with a nonmetal. For a given nonmetal, there are often two or more common oxoanions SO32-(sulfite ion) 1 sulfur 3 oxygens and a charge of 2-,
Every Group I element (that is, the ones in the first column) have a ... Thus, bromine, oxygen, and carbon thus all form negative ions, while magnesium forms a positive ion (+2)
An oxygen atom can only be oxidized by some element with an equal or higher electronegativity. So, oxygen can be oxidized by fluorine (e.g., OF2) or by another oxygen atom (e.g., O2).
