First of all atoms that have charge are called ions. Atoms with opposite charges will always attract each other to neutralize one another. And the reason why they have charge is due to a chemical reaction in aqueous solution that caused a separation of charges.
For example: NaCl (table salt) mixed in water causes the molecule to break apart with (+)Na and (-)Cl which are called ions.
This is the electrical charge of the ion.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
No. The acetate ion has a -1 charge.
A molecule hasn't an electrical charge. An ion has a positive charge (cation) or a negative charge (anion).
It depends on what ion it is. If it is a cation, then the ion has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
An ion does have a charge. That is what makes it an ion.
This is the electrical charge of the ion.
An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
The charge of the molybdenum ion is +2.
The hydroxide ion has a 1- charge.
The bromide ion has a 1- charge.
A strontium ion has a charge of +2
A bromide ion has a charge of -1.
The charge of Phosphorous (P) as an ion is -3.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
No. The oxide ion has a -2 charge.
No. The acetate ion has a -1 charge.
