What is the difference between a positively charged molecular ion and positively charged group of atoms?

∙ 9y ago
Ions can be created by both chemical and physical means. In chemical terms, if a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, it has a net positive charge and is known as a cation. If an atom gains electrons, it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion. An ion consisting of a single atom is an atomic or monatomic ion; if it consists of two or more atoms, it is a molecular or polyatomic ion.

What is the difference between cation and onion?
An onion is a delicious vegetable whereas a cation is a positively charged ion.
How do you recognize the difference between the ion charge of a metal and the non metal?
Metal ions are typically positively charged, while nonmetals are typically negatively charged.
Describe a molecular dipole?
molecule or part of a molecule that contains both positively and negatively charged regions
What is the difference between an element and its ion?
An element has it's protons balanced with electrons. The ion of an element is unbalanced: either positively charged if it lost an electron or negatively charged if it gained one.
Does Ionic bonds form between two negatively charged particles?
No, ionic bonds form between particles with opposite charges.
What is the difference between positively charged molecular ions and positively charged ions having group of atoms?
Molecular Ions essentially consist of the same type of atoms (most probably the atoms of the same element) and the radicals may not have the same characteristic.
What is the difference between cation and onion?
An onion is a delicious vegetable whereas a cation is a positively charged ion.
What is the difference between an electron and proton and neutrons?
A proton is positively charged; a neutron has no charge and an electron is negatively charged, that is why it is attracted to the atom, which consists of protons.
Between what do ionic bonds form?
it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion

Is an insulator positively charged or negatively charged?
I believe they'd are positively charged.
Positive charged center of an atom?
The positively charged center of an atom is the nucleus. The nucleus contains the protons and the neutrons. The protons are positively charged and the neutrons have no charge, therefore the nucleus is positively charged.
What are bonds made of?
Ionic bonds are made between two atoms that have exchanged one or more electrons. One of the atoms will be positively charged and one atom will be negatively charged; the bond is actually the attraction between the positively charged atom and the negatively charged atom.
What is an electric discharge tar occurs between a positively charged area and a negatively charged area?
lightning
What will happen if you place a positively charged object near as negatively charged object?
There will be a force of attraction between them.
