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.
When an acid ionizes in water what happens to the number of hydrogen ions?
the number of hydrogen ions (charges) given by the acid will be the same as the anions
What determines the ratio of ions an ionic compound?
C.The charges on the ions
Why does salt water have electrical charges?
Because the salt water is salt dissolved water, which is NaCl plus water. When the NaCl dissolve in the water, they breaks down into sodium ion (contains positive charge) and chloride ion (contains negative charge), so that the salt water has electrical charges. Actually we can't say it has charges, we only can say that it can conduct electricity.
Do ions repel water?
Ions and Water Ions do not repel water. In fact, they actually attract water molecules. When an ionic compound like salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water: Positive Ions: The positive sodium ions (Na+) are attracted to the negative oxygen end of the water molecules. Negative Ions: The negative chloride ions (Cl-) are attracted to the positive hydrogen ends of the water molecules. This attraction between the ions and water molecules is called hydration. The ions become surrounded by water, which helps them break apart and go into solution. So in simple terms, ions are attracted to and interact with water, rather than repelling it. The hydration of ions is an important part of how they dissolve in water.
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 make pure water neutral?
It does not contain any Ions It does contain ions. The point is that the positive (H) and negative (OH) ions are equal in concentration.
What determines the ratio of ions in an ionic compound?
C.The charges on the ions
Why will sodium chloride conduct electricity in water?
Sodium chloride conducts electricity in water because when dissolved, it dissociates into its respective sodium and chloride ions. These ions are free to move and carry electric charge through the solution, allowing it to conduct electricity.
What happens sodium chloride dissolves in water?
It separates into positive sodium and negative chloride 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.
