When ions come together, they do so in a way that balances out the charges on the ions.
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
Charged i will leave urs but this is the correct answer Neutral u guys need 2 make up ur mind
An ionic compound is electrically neutral overall because the positive charges on the cations are equal to the negative charges on the anions. This balance of charges in the compound ensures that the total charge is zero.
You would need one magnesium ion (Mg^2+) and two oxygen ions (O^2-) to form an electrically neutral compound like magnesium oxide (MgO). The 2+ charge on the magnesium ion balances the 2- charge of the two oxygen ions, resulting in a neutral compound.
A carbonate ion (CO3^2-) has a charge of -2. Since sodium ions (Na+) have a charge of +1, two sodium ions are needed to make a carbonate ion electrically neutral.
No. Ions of opposite charges come together to form electrically neutral compounds. A compound cannot carry an electric charge.
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
The smallest electrically neutral collection of ions is called a formula unit. This is typically found in ionic compounds, where positive and negative ions combine to balance the overall charge to zero.

Generally, a solution of an organic compound in water will be electrically neutral. Organic compounds do not typically dissociate into ions in water like ionic compounds, so the solution will not conduct electricity unless there are ions present from other sources.
Molecules are electrically neutral. Ions have electric charges.
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
Yes. Ionic compounds contain anions and cations in proportions that balance the charges making samples of the compound electrically neutral. Examples are NaCl, ions Na+ Cl- , proportions 1:1 CaCl2,ions Ca2+ Cl- , proportions 1:2
Polyatomic ions are not compounds because they are not electrically neutral, and they are not elements because they can be broken down into other chemical constituents -- the actual elements.
Ionic compounds result from the mutual (not neutral) attraction of oppositely charged ions.
