Sulfur-anion/sulfid [ S-2 ] got two negative charges.
Quicksilver Hg is two times in molecular formula. So it has to be [ Hg+1 ] for a neutral charged compound.

What are Molecules that carry positive or negative electrical charges?
Ions.
What is the different kind of ions?
Those with positive electrical charges, and those with negative electrical charges.
Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?
It is possible to make positive ions of nonmetals e.g. oxygen, chlorine, by putting enough energy into them. They normally form negative ions when in a spontaneous reaction.
How can ionic compounds be neutral if they consist of positive and negative ions?
Ionic compounds are neutral because, even though they consist of positive and negative ions, the relative proportions between those ions are such that the total number of negative charges is the same as the total number of positive charges, thus summing to zero.
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
What charges do the hydroxide and hydrogen ions carry?
Hydrogen Ions carry positive charges. Hydroxide Ions carry negative charges.
What kinds of charges can ions have?
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
Ions can have only positive charges?
false
Are ions negatively charged?
You can have positive ions and negative ions. For example, take saltwater which dissociates into: Na+ & Cl- Typically the number positive charges and negative charges must balance.
Do ions posses charges?
Yes, ions are charged molecules by definition. There are two types cations (with positive charges) and anions (with negative charges).
Does current electricity have positive and negative charges?
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
What are Molecules that carry positive or negative electrical charges?
Ions.
What is the different kind of ions?
Those with positive electrical charges, and those with negative electrical charges.
What is the positive charge of N20?
Ions composed of nitrogen and oxygen are negatively charged, they do not have positive charges.
What are characteristics of ion?
Ions carry positive or negative charges.
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?
Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.
