What a ion?
An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.
A hydronium ion is actually a water molecule bonded to what ion?
The hydronium ion is a water molecule bonded to a hydrogen ion (H+). This bond forms when a water molecule donates a proton to another water molecule, creating the hydronium ion (H3O+).
Is an polar molecule an ion?
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
How does hydronium ion form?
when a water molecule gains an hydrogen ion from another water molecule
What does an ion have that a neutral molecule does not have?
An ion has an electrical charge.
A what is a group of atoms?
A polyatomic ion.
What ion is formed from a hydrogen ion and a water molecule?
This ion is hydronium: (H3O)+.
What is a molecule with a charge?
An ion.
A water molecule after its accepts a hydrogen ion?
Hydronium Ion
Is A polar molecule an ion?
No, a polar molecule is not an ion. A polar molecule occurs when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms within the molecule, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge. An ion, on the other hand, is a charged particle that has gained or lost one or more electrons.
What type of molecule is Na plus?
Na+ is not a molecule; it is an ion, specifically a sodium ion.
How does the hydrnium ion form?
The hydronium ion, H3O+, forms when a water molecule (H2O) accepts a proton (H+) from another molecule or ion. This protonation of water results in the formation of hydronium ion (H3O+).
