What else can I help you with?
What must happen to form a positive or negative ion?
if a substance loses one or more electrons it becomes positively charged and when it gains an electron it becomes negatively charged
What must happen to a atom for it to become an ion with a positive plus 1charge?
It must loose an electron.
Is hydrogencarbonate a compound or a element?
Niether. Hydrogencarbonate is an ion. It does not exist on its own, but must be combined with a positive ion to form a compound.
What charge does Sr form when it forms and ion?
strontium is a metal, therefore it must form only positive ions.
Will form an ionic bond?
A positive ion and a negative ion.
What must happen for an ion to happen?
Reacting Nitrogen Gas with Alkali or Alkaline earth Metals form trivalent N3- ions.
When is a positive ion form?
A positive ion is formed when an atom loses one or more then electrons.
What must happen in order for an ion to form?
An ion forms when an atom gains or loses electrons to have a stable electron configuration. When an atom gains electrons, it forms a negatively charged ion (anion), and when it loses electrons, it forms a positively charged ion (cation).
Is silver a positive ion?
Yes, silver can form a positive ion with a charge of +1. When silver loses an electron, it becomes a silver ion (Ag+).
What type of ionic compound does the positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid combine to form?
When the positive ion of a base combines with the negative ion of an acid, they form a salt compound. The positive ion from the base combines with the negative ion from the acid through an ionic bond to create a neutral compound known as a salt.
Is Na a metal that form positive ion?
yes
What is going to happen to the size of a positive ion as compared to the original atom?
The positive ion has donated an electron to another atom making the other atom a negative ion and much larger in radius. The positive ion is now much smaller in radius.
