What is a molecule that has both positive and negative charges?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
An ionic compound, made up of cations and anions in an ionic lattice arrangement.
Could also be a polar-covalent bond
A molecule that has both a positive charge and negative charge is called a Zwitterion. A good example is an amino acid that has both an amino group and a carboxylic acid. In solution, the amino group will be positively charged and the carboxylic acid will be negatively charged for a net charge of zero.

Why cant the hydrogen of a water molecule stick to a hydrogen of another molecule?
The hydrogen atoms in a water molecule have slight positive charges. Particles with like charges (both positive or both negative) will repel each other.
What type of compound has positive and negative charges?
The material you are referring to is called a zwitterionic material, or on ocassion and amphoteric laterial. These materials carry both a positive and negative point charge on the same molecule.
Do non polar molecules have both negative or positive ends?
Some but not most non polar molecules have both negative and positive "ends" to their individual bonds. Examples include tetrafluoromethane. By definition, however, a non-polar molecule does not have negative and positive ends to an entire molecule.
What is an amphoion?
An amphoion is another term for a zwitterion, a molecule such as an amino acid, which has both a positive and negative charge.
Explain how a water molecule can be attracted to both a positive ion and a negative ion when dissolving an ionic compound?
The shape and charge distribution in a water molecule cause it to have a permanent dipole moment, which consist of a positive electric charge and a negative charge separated by a distance in space. Therefore, the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the negative charge of its dipole moment is attracted to positive ions, and the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the positive charge of its dipole moment is attracted to negative ions.
Why cant the hydrogen of a water molecule stick to a hydrogen of another molecule?
The hydrogen atoms in a water molecule have slight positive charges. Particles with like charges (both positive or both negative) will repel each other.
Does wool have a negative or positive charge?
both because every object has both positive and negative charges but mainly has positive charges.
Do Polar molecules such as water have no negative or positive poles?
No. Polar molecules such as water have both negative and positive poles. Different parts of the molecule have slightly different charges.
What type of compound has positive and negative charges?
The material you are referring to is called a zwitterionic material, or on ocassion and amphoteric laterial. These materials carry both a positive and negative point charge on the same molecule.
Will positive and positive attract or repel?
'Like' charges (both positive or both negative) repel.Unlike charges (one of each) attract.
What the unlike charges?
the unlike charges are those which attract each other
Like charges are?
It means both charges are of the same type: positive or negative.
Is an object without a charge repelled by both positive and negative charges?
Positive and negative charges would have not effect on an object without charge.
What is the best answer about two adjacent electrical charges if both are positive they attract if both are negative they attract if one is positive and one is negative they attract if one is positive?
Two like charges will repel each and will be attracted to the opposite charges.
Will positive and positive repel or attract?
'Like' charges (both positive or both negative) repel.Unlike charges (one of each) attract.
Does a neutron have both positive and negative charges?
A neutron has no electric charge. However, it is made up of smaller particles (quarks), which have both positive and negative charges. The total sum of all these charges, in the case of a neutron, is zero.
Do non polar molecules have both negative or positive ends?
Some but not most non polar molecules have both negative and positive "ends" to their individual bonds. Examples include tetrafluoromethane. By definition, however, a non-polar molecule does not have negative and positive ends to an entire molecule.
