What else can I help you with?
What charges do the hydroxide and hydrogen ions carry?
Hydrogen Ions carry positive charges. Hydroxide Ions carry negative charges.
What determines the ratio of ions an ionic compound?
C.The charges on the 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).
What determines the ratio of ions in an ionic compound?
C.The charges on the ions
What differentiates molecules from ions?
Molecules are electrically neutral. Ions have electric charges.
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 is the force of repulsion between two ions?
The force of repulsion between two ions is caused by the like charges of the ions pushing against each other. This force increases as the charges of the ions and the distance between them increase.
Ions can have only positive charges?
false
What are polyvalent ions?
It is an ion that has multiple charges
In which sets are the charges given correctly for all the ions?
There are three sets of ions where the charges are given correctly: Group 1 elements (e.g., Na+), Group 2 elements (e.g., Mg2+), and aluminum (Al3+). These ions have fixed charges that do not vary.
Do all ionic compounds have the same ratio of ions?
No. The ratio depends on the charges of the ions.
What kinds of charges can ions have?
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
