False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.

What are the polyatomic ions?

polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.

Do all polyatomic ions carry a charge of two?

This isn't a rule.


What are positive charges?

Protons carry a positive charge, electrons carry a negative charge and neutrons do not carry a charge.


What charge do protons carry?

The proton carries a positive electrostatic charge. That charge is given as a +1 or can be expressed as 1.602 x 10-19 C.


What atomic particles always carry a negative charge?

The electron, muon and tau; the down quark, the strange quark, the bottom quark; and the W boson.


Does the quark subatomic particle always carry a negative charge?

All quarks are charged (electrically; they also carry a "color charge"). Some of them have a negative charge and some of them have a positive charge. So I guess the answer is "no."

What is the charge of a polyatomic ion that has two more electrons than the sum of its valence electrons?

A polyatomic ion that has two more electrons than the sum of its valence electrons will carry a charge of -2. This is because the charge of an ion is determined by the difference between the number of protons (positive charges) and electrons (negative charges). In this case, the additional two electrons result in an overall negative charge of -2.


Does Electrons carry a negative and positive charge?

electrons carry a negative charge. protons carry a positive charge. neutrons are neutral.


Do a particles carry a negative charge?

Electrons do protons carry a positive charge and neutrons have no charge
