it is always equal to zero.
The overall charge of a formula unit for an ionic compound is zero. The numbers of positive and negative ions are such that the sum of the positive charges and the negative charges is zero.

Well the charge of an ionic compound (metal combining with a nonmetal) is neutral because a metal had a positive charge and a nonmetal has a negative charge. But the charge of a molecular compound (nonmetal combining with a nonmetal) is negative because both elements have negative charges.

What is the overall charge of ionic compound?
positive
Do ionic always have charge?
Yes , ionic compounds always have positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. But in an ionic compound the positive and negative charges balance exactly leaving an overall charge of zero
What is the net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride?
The net charge of an ionic compound is equivalent to zero.
What is the total charge of an ionic compound?
The net charge of any ionic compound is zero, in other words, ionic compounds are neutral.
What is the formula for the ionic compound K plus and I?
The ion for Potassium has a charge of 1+.The ion for Iodine has a charge of 1-.This means that in order to make the overall charge of a unit of a compound of Potassium and Iodine, there must be one atom of Potassium and one atom of Iodine.Therefore, when K+ and I- are bonded, they make the ionic compound of KI.
What is the overall charge of ionic compound?
positive
The overall charge on an ionic compound?
The ionic charges always cancel to give an electrostatically neutral compoun.
What is the net charge of the ionic compound fluoride?
The net charge of an ionic compound is equivalent to zero.

What is the total charge of an ionic compound?
The net charge of any ionic compound is zero, in other words, ionic compounds are neutral.
What is the ionic compound with barium and sulfide?
BaS or Barium sulfide is the ionic compound. Ba has a charge of 2+ and S has a charge of 2- so when you combine them, they produce the neutral ionic compound BaS.
What is the formula for the ionic compound K plus and I?
The ion for Potassium has a charge of 1+.The ion for Iodine has a charge of 1-.This means that in order to make the overall charge of a unit of a compound of Potassium and Iodine, there must be one atom of Potassium and one atom of Iodine.Therefore, when K+ and I- are bonded, they make the ionic compound of KI.
What is the overall charge on a water molecule?
It's not an ionic compound.
What is the ionic charge of carbonic acid?
Zero. A compound will never have a net ionic charge.
Why must the net charge on any ionic compound always equal zero?
They have no charge..the ions are attracted to opposite charge until the overall charge is zero
What is the formula for the ionic compounds K and I?
The ion for Potassium has a charge of 1+.The ion for Iodine has a charge of 1-.This means that in order to make the overall charge of a unit of a compound of Potassium and Iodine, there must be one atom of Potassium and one atom of Iodine.Therefore, when K+ and I- are bonded, they make the ionic compound of KI.
