What else can I help you with?
Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?
Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and 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).
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 are polyvalent ions?
It is an ion that has multiple charges
What kinds of charges can ions have?
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
Ions can have only positive charges?
false
Does K form two or more ions with different ionic charges?
No, only the K+ ion is possible; this is valid for all other alkali metals (group I)
Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?
Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.
Is it true that in ionic compounds the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion . a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges?
No, it is not true that a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges. You can have, for example, a compound that consists of twice as many positive ions as negative ions, but the positive ions have only half the charge; +1 ions bonded to -2 ions. There are many different possible ratios with which different elements or radicals combine. As long as the total amount of charge adds up to zero, you still have a neutral ionic compound.
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

What possible charge can lead acquire as an ion?
Lead can form ions with a charge of +2 or +4.
What determines the ratio of ions in an ionic compound?
C.The charges on the ions
Why are prefixes not used in naming ionic compounds?
two ions can combine in only one combination
What differentiates molecules from ions?
Molecules are electrically neutral. Ions have electric charges.
