What is the electric charge on the ion in the compound calcium oxide?
Well the charge on the compound would be stable (0) when bonded, because the Calcium has given it's electrons to the Oxygen atom. But the charge on the calcium ion itself would be 2+
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is the electric charge on the calcium ion in the compound calcium oxide?
Well the charge on the compound would be stable (0) when bonded, because the Calcium has given it's electrons to the Oxygen atom. But the charge on the calcium ion itself would be 2+
What is the charge of cyclohexane?
Cyclohexane has no charge. It is a compound, not an ion.
When Te is an ion in a compound what charge does it have?
-2

Do the polyatomic ions meet the requirements to be called compounds?
No, because part of the definition of a compound is a requirement for lack of net electric charge, but any ion by must have a net electric charge.

What is the charge of iron ion in the ionic compound ScCl3?
There is no iron ion in SCl3. The charge on the scandium ion is 3+.
What is the charge of SO ion?
Sulfur monoxide is a gaseous compound, NOT an ion; hence it has NO charge.
Polyatomic ion vs. covalent compound?
A polyatomic ion is similar to a covalent compound in as much as the atoms in the polyatomic ion are covalently bound, and it is a compound, but it has a charge. Hence it is an ION.
When Te is an ion in a compound what charge does it have?
-2
Atom has an electric charge what is it called?
An ion.
What is the charge in a chloride ion?
Chloride ion in AlCl3 has a charge of -1. The compound AlCl3 is aluminum chloride, which is an inorganic compound that can react with water.
