What else can I help you with?
Polyatomic ions always carry a positive charge?
False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
What are the polyatomic ions?
polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.
Are polyatomic ions positively charged?
Most polyatomic ions have a negative charge. There are only 2 positive polyatomic ions; Mercury(I) ion and Ammonium ion. False.
Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as what?
Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as polyatomic ions. These ions are composed of multiple atoms that are covalently bonded together, but have an overall charge due to the loss or gain of electrons. They can have a positive or negative charge depending on the number of electrons gained or lost.
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
What are the similarities between polyatomic monoatomic ions?
All ions have an electrical charge.
Are there any positive polyatomic ions?
Ammonium- NH4+1
What are ions made of more than one atom?
Polyatomic ions.
Do metal ions have a positive charge?
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
What of polyatomic ions has a single minus charge?
Nitrate Cyanide Hydroxide Acetate
Do all polyatomic ions carry a charge of two?
This isn't a rule.
What polyatomic ions bond with other ions to form an ionic bond?
Polyatomic ions such as sulfate (SO4^2-), nitrate (NO3-), and phosphate (PO4^3-) can form ionic bonds with other ions to create compounds. These polyatomic ions have a charge that allows them to bond with ions of opposite charge through electrostatic attraction.
