Are bonding pairs positively charged or negatively charged?

The term "bonding pairs" usually refers to electrons, so they would be negatively charged.


What is the general term for any negatively charged ion?

anion


Which term describes the particle that results when an electron is added to an atom?

It depends. If you are talking about electron capture at the molecular level, then when a neutral atom (or molecule) absorbs a negatively charged electron, it becomes negatively charged. All charged atoms (or molecules) are called ions, and a negatively charged ion is called an anion. . If, on the other hand, you are talking about electron capture by the nucleus of an atom, then when a positively charged proton absorbs a negatively charged electron, the proton converts into a neutrally charged neutron and immediately emits a neutrally charged electron neutrino.


What term describes an atom that carries a positive or negative charge?

An atom that carries a positive or negative charge is called an ion. Positively charged ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions.

Is hydrogen neutrally charged?

Yes. Any element on its own will be electrically neutral. However, "neutrally charged" is something of an oxymoron as the term "neutral" means that there is no net charge.


Which term best describes neon?

element


What term describes the arrengment of particles in an ionic compound?

The term that describes the arrangement of particles in an ionic compound is crystal lattice. In a crystal lattice, positively and negatively charged ions are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern to achieve stability. The specific arrangement of ions in the crystal lattice contributes to the overall structure and properties of the ionic compound.


What term describes a pure substance that is made up of only one atom?

This is a chemical element.


Which describes Mendeleev's use of the term aluminum?

A mixture of aluminum and an unknown element.


What is the meaning of the term polar applied to chemical bonding?

A polar bond is a bond in which there is a molecule has a slightly positively charged end, and a slightly negatively charged end; there is unequal sharing.


Which term describes the units that make up substances involved in ionic bonding?

Ions are the units that make up substances involved in ionic bonding. Ions are charged particles that are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. In an ionic bond, positively charged ions (cations) are attracted to negatively charged ions (anions) to form a stable compound.
