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).
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between an Ion and an Molecule?
Ions are charged.
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
Is iodine monochloride a metal polar molecule polyatomic ion or nonpolar molecule?
Iodine monochloride (ICl) is a nonpolar molecule because the electronegativity difference between iodine and chlorine is not significant enough to create a dipole moment.
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
What is ion and molecule?
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
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.
