An ion is an electrically charged atom, charged due to the gain or loss of an electron, such as Fe++ (a cation, because the Fe atom has gained two electrons) or Cl- (an anion, because the Cl atom has lost an electron).
A molecule is a complex structure made up of more than 1 atom. They can be made from the same atom (like a molecule of oxygen, O2) or different atoms (like H2SO4).
Ions are charged.
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
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+).
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
when a water molecule gains an hydrogen ion from another water molecule
An ion has an electrical charge.
Iodine monochloride (ICl) is a nonpolar molecule because the electronegativity difference between iodine and chlorine is not significant enough to create a dipole moment.
A polyatomic ion.
This ion is hydronium: (H3O)+.
An ion.
Hydronium Ion
a molecule is more than one atom attached together, an ion is an atom/molecule where the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons in the nucleus
