polyatomic ion
polyatomic
An electrolyte can be either positive or negative, because an electrolyte contains ions, which are atoms in which the total amount of electrons does not equal the total number of protons. There can be too many electrons in the atom (making the atom negative, also called an anion), or not enough electrons in the atom (making the atom positive, also called a cation).
A compound that accepts hydrogen ions (which are always positive) is a Lewis Base. A compound that lets go of a hydrogen ion is a Lewis Acid.
An ion is missing an electron - the outer, or valence electron - and so is negatively charged. An atom has no charge as it contains the same number of electrons as protons.
a charged particle which is called an ion
an ionAn atom is electrically neutral as they have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.

ions like sulphate ions,carbonate ions etc...are the ions which contain more than one atom.
Ions. An ion is an atom in which the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons.

no an ion is a electrically charged atom
A charged atom or group of atoms are known as ions or radicals.
A charged ion that is composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded.No: Each chloride ion contains only one atom.
Ionosphere contains the ions. It is a charged layer.
Unless they are ions, atoms are neutrally charged. The negatively charged electrons orbitting the nucleus neutralized the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. neutrons do not have an electrical charge. ions are the exception to this, as they have either added or removed orbitting electrons. if an atom has electrons removed, then it is a positively charged cation. most metals form positively charged ions. if electrons are added, then it is a negatively charged anion. most non-metals form negatively charged ions.
Ionization. An electrically charged atom is called an ion. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged atoms are called anions.
