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
Are all elements except noble gases ions?
No. Ions are just elements with charges.
Ions can have only positive charges?
false
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.
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.
What charges do the hydroxide and hydrogen ions carry?
Hydrogen Ions carry positive charges. Hydroxide Ions carry negative charges.
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)

What are the ionic charges in the transition metals?
Metals form ions with charges of +1, +2, or +3. Those are the only options for metals.
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
Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?
It is possible to make positive ions of nonmetals e.g. oxygen, chlorine, by putting enough energy into them. They normally form negative ions when in a spontaneous reaction.
What differentiates molecules from ions?
Molecules are electrically neutral. Ions have electric charges.
