A Hydrogen atom is one proton, one electron. The ion has lost the 1 electron, but it is still the same element, if that's what you mean. Protons are used to define what the element is.

What is the hydrogen carbonate ion formula?

The hydrogen carbonate ion has the formula HCO3-.


What are the names and formulas for the two ions into which sodium hydrogen carbonate separates?

NaHCO3, sodium hydrogen carbonate, or sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, contains the positively charged sodium ion, Na+, and the negatively charged hydrogen carbonate ion, or bicarbonate ion, HCO3-.


What is the valency of a hydrogen carbonate ion?

A hydrogen carbonate ion has the formula HCO3- so the valency of a hydrogen carbonate ion is -1.


Is Hydrogen carbonate acidic?

Yes. Hydrogen carbonate is also known as carbonic acid.


Is the sodium bicarbonate the same as sodium carbonate?

No; sodium carbonate is Na2CO3, with two sodium ions, while sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3 and has a hydrogen ion instead of a sodium ion.


What is the formula for hydrogen carbonate ion?

CO32-.


What color is hydrogen carbonate?

Hydrogen carbonate, or bicarbonate ion (HCO3-), is colorless in its pure form and does not exhibit a distinct color.


What type of compound is KHC3?

A nonexistent compound as far as I'm aware. Did you mean KHCO3? This is potassium hydrogen carbonate


Is hydrogen carbonate ionic or covalent?

Hydrogen carbonate, also known as bicarbonate, is a polyatomic ion with both ionic and covalent characteristics. It consists of a hydrogen cation (H+) and a carbonate anion (HCO3-), which forms ionic bonds with each other. However, the bonds within the carbonate ion itself are covalent in nature.


What kind of carbon can never have a hydrogen attached to it?

the carbon in the ion carbonate (CO3 2-)


Is sodium carbonate the same as sodium hydrogen carbonate?

No, Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3 while Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, also known as Sodium bicarbonate, is NaHCO3. Though both have co-ordinate bond, Sodium carbonate is a normal salt and Sodium hydrogen carbonate is an acid salt, meaning it has an H+ ion which it can release when dissolved in water, thus behaving like an acid. So as to summarize, the main point of difference between Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 is that one of the Na+ ions of Na2CO3 is replaced by an H+ ion in


What is formed when carbonic acid is ionized?

Carbonic acid can lose 2 protons (hydrogen ions). After losing the first, a hydrogen ion and a bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion are produced. When the bicarbonate ion is further ionized, another hydrogen ion as well as a carbonate ion are produced.
