they are the cations
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
Yes, an atom can have charge. Atoms consist of protons, which have a positive charge, neutrons, which have no charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. The overall charge of an atom depends on the balance of these particles.
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
The positive -charge in an atom is called the proton.They are held in the nucleus with the neutrons.
It's called an ion, and it simply means a charged atom (or group of atoms.)
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
An ion is a particle that carries a charge, either positive or negative, due to losing or gaining electrons. It can be a single atom or a group of atoms that have an overall charge. A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds and may or may not carry a charge.
