Why do nitrogen and oxygen produces negative ions instead of positive ions in binary compounds?

The molecular structure of oxygen and nitrogen dictates it's molecular charged, that is, it has to satisfy the octet rule. For instance, if you take a look at the atomic structure of oxygen and atom, they both have a few missing electrons that can't satisfy the octet rule, thus negatively charged ions have no other ions to bond (when coupled with another element), either double or single to coupe with other binary compounds. This essential makes them likely to be negatively charged.

What toxins does garbage release?
Garbage produces many toxins such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds
Every charged particle produces a?
It produced a magnetic field. If it's charged, it can be negative OR positive. It's magnetic because if they're both alike signs (both positive or both negative) they repel like magnets. If one particle is positive and one is negative, they attract like magnets.
What does lightning do to nitrogen gas?
lightning ionizes the nitrogen gas..and produces nitrogen ions..these nitrogen ions combines with hydrogen ions resulting in ammonia gas..this takes place with heavy sound,thunder
What is the difference between red fuming and white fuming nitric acid?
One produces red fumes of Nitrogen dioxide(being more concentrated than the other), and the other produces whitish fumes of Nitrogen monoxide.
Is borax polar or non polar?
The bonds are polar because chlorine is highly electronegative. That produces minor negative charge on each chlorine in the compound and minor positive on the boron. Because chlorine is large and boron small, the overall effect is to produce a molecule that appears to carry a slight negative charge because the minor positive charge is "buried" inside the molecule. To be trully polar, a molecule must have both a minor negative and minor positive charge open to its surroundings (not a good way to explain, but I hope it makes sense).
If both parents are A positive can they produces an A negative?
Yeah

-243
What type of radiation produces positive and negative radiation?
a Alpha and Beta
Why does a positive times a negative produces a negative?
Because when there is a positive and a negative in the same problem, it gives you a negative. An easy way to solve problems like that is if there is an odd number of negative signs, then your answer is going to be negative. If there is an even number of negative signs, then your answer is going to be positive. (no matter if there is a positive sign in a math problem).
What produces nitrogen compounds from gases in the air?
The source of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) is essentially the combustion of fossil fuels and derivatives. Also some chemical processes release nitrogen oxides. As an addenda, the questioner might be seeking to know if nitrogen compounds are formed in other ways, to which I would suggest that virtually all PLANTS make nitrogen compounds by extracting and combining atmospheric and soil-bound elements. I hope that helps.
What are positive factors?
A factor is a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression. A positive factor is a factor that is positive, as opposed to negative.
Why can't you factor negative radical numbers?
You cannot factor negative radical numbers because the square of a number must always be positive. A negative number multiplied by a negative number produces a positive number. So, it is impossible to have a negative radical.
What is a positive factor?
A factor is a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression. A positive factor is a factor that is positive as opposed to being negative.
Does a metal have a negative ion or a positive ion?
It could be either. Once a metal produces an ion (an atom with electric charge) it could be positive or negative, depending on number of electrons lost or gained.
Why hole has positive charge?
A hole is a place where an electron is missing. Since the electron has a negative charge, the lack of an electron produces a net positive charge.
Is bacillus subtilis catalase positive or negative?
Bacillus subtilis is catalase positive, meaning it produces the enzyme catalase which can break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
