What charges do the hydroxide and hydrogen ions carry?
Hydrogen Ions carry positive charges. Hydroxide Ions carry negative charges.
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 determines the ratio of ions 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.
Ions can have only positive charges?
false
What are polyvalent ions?
It is an ion that has multiple charges
Do all ionic compounds have the same ratio of ions?
No. The ratio depends on the charges of the ions.
Are all elements except noble gases ions?
No. Ions are just elements with charges.
What kinds of charges can ions have?
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
What are irons charges?
Iron can form ions with 2+ and 3+ charges.
