In ionic compounds the positively charged ions are formed from?
ionic compounds r made from different ions by ionic bonds or dative bonds ie. donating or taking electrons from electron rich or electron deficient compounds to complete their valence shells electron
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
When atoms gain or lose electrons the charged particles that result are called molecules?
Atoms that gain or lose electrons become ions, not molecules. Ions are charged particles due to an imbalance of protons and electrons. Molecules are formed when atoms are bonded together by sharing electrons.
What are the differences and the similarities on ions and atoms?
Atoms are neutral particles containing equal numbers of protons and electrons, while ions have gained or lost electrons, causing them to be positively or negatively charged. Both ions and atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons, but ions have an unequal number of protons and electrons, leading to their charge.
What are 2 main types of ions?
The two main types of ions are cations and anions. Cations are positively charged ions that have lost electrons, while anions are negatively charged ions that have gained electrons.
What does an atom with the oxidation number -2 form?
When a molecule dissociates in to ions , some ions take up more electrons they required , they are said to be in Oxidation state. If another ion which have deficient electrons came near this ion , the electrons from first ion transferred to another ion. Now the oxidation number -2 means it has two excess electrons and want to loose two electrons to get stability.
In ionic compounds the positively charged ions are formed from?
ionic compounds r made from different ions by ionic bonds or dative bonds ie. donating or taking electrons from electron rich or electron deficient compounds to complete their valence shells electron
Which ions does not have 18 electrons?
Ions with 18 electrons are exceptions (ex.: Cl-).
Do ion share electrons with other atoms?
Ions do not share electrons with other atoms. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Positive ions (cations) lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) gain electrons.
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
Do ions have more electrons than the atoms from which they were formed?
of course, ions are formed by loosing (cations) or gaining (anions) electrons. anions have more electrons than the atom from which it is formed.
When atoms gain or lose electrons they become negatively or positively charged They are known as?
When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become negatively charged if they gain electrons (anions) or positively charged if they lose electrons (cations). These charged atoms are known as ions.
What is the net charge ions in Sodium?
A crystal of salt consists of electrons and positive ions. How does the net charge of the electrons compare with the net charge of the ions
What subatomic particles are involved in ions?
Ions have more or less electrons than a neutral atom.
When atoms gain or lose electrons the charged particles that result are called molecules?
Atoms that gain or lose electrons become ions, not molecules. Ions are charged particles due to an imbalance of protons and electrons. Molecules are formed when atoms are bonded together by sharing electrons.
How are atoms that are neutral in charge?
Atoms that are neutral in charge have the same quantity of protons and electrons. Negative ions have extra electrons, and positive ions are missing electrons.
Which elements tend to attract electrons to become negative ions?
Nonmetals tend to attract electrons to become negative ions.
