When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
Can oxygen have a negative charge?
By becoming an oxide ion, O=
Does a ion contain one or more positive or negative charges?
yes. an oxygen ion contaiins 2- charges.
What is the total charge on an oxygen ion that has 8 protons 8 neutrons and 10 electrons?
Consider an atom of oxygen in which the nucleus contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons. If it is doubly ionized, what is the charge of the oxygen ion and how many electrons remain in the ion?
What is a hydroxide ion?
an hydroxide ion has one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom therefore it is an ion because it has a negative charge. poitive charged molecules are called cations.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
Is ammonium an oxyanion?
No. An oxyanion is a polyatomic negative ion that contains oxygen. Ammonium is a cation (positive ion) and does not contain oxygen.
What type of Charge does an Oxygen ion has?
It has a negative charge of -2.
Can oxygen have a negative charge?
By becoming an oxide ion, O=
Is oxygen is a positive charge?
No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge
Why the gain of oxygen is negative?
If yot think to the ion this is (O)2-.
Does a ion contain one or more positive or negative charges?
yes. an oxygen ion contaiins 2- charges.
What characteristic of water helps it cause a mineral to dissolve?
Water is a polar molecule meaning the oxygen part is negative the hydrogen is positive, so in an ionic compound the negative ion get attracted to the hydrogen and the positive ion to the oxygen.
What is the total charge on an oxygen ion that has 8 protons 8 neutrons and 10 electrons?
Consider an atom of oxygen in which the nucleus contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons. If it is doubly ionized, what is the charge of the oxygen ion and how many electrons remain in the ion?
Does carbonate have calcium carbonate in it?
No. The carbonate ion contains only carbon and oxygen. Since it is a negative ion, it must combine with some positive ion. If that positive ion is calcium, you get calcium carbonate.
What is a hydroxide ion?
an hydroxide ion has one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom therefore it is an ion because it has a negative charge. poitive charged molecules are called cations.
Which bonds are ionic and covalent in NaHCO3?
The bond between the sodium ion (Na+) and the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) is ionic. The negative charge on bicarbonate ion is distributed between two oxygen atoms by resonance. The rest of the bonds within the bicarbonate ion (3 carbon-oxygen bonds and 1 oxygen-hydrogen bond) are covalent.
