An ionic compound, made up of cations and anions in an ionic lattice arrangement.

Could also be a polar-covalent bond

A molecule that has both a positive charge and negative charge is called a Zwitterion. A good example is an amino acid that has both an amino group and a carboxylic acid. In solution, the amino group will be positively charged and the carboxylic acid will be negatively charged for a net charge of zero.

What type of compound has positive and negative charges?

The material you are referring to is called a zwitterionic material, or on ocassion and amphoteric laterial. These materials carry both a positive and negative point charge on the same molecule.


Why cant the hydrogen of a water molecule stick to a hydrogen of another molecule?

Water molecules are polar, which means they have a slightly positive and negative end. The positively charged hydrogen atoms in water molecules are attracted to the negatively charged oxygen atom in neighboring water molecules, preventing hydrogen-hydrogen bonding. This results in hydrogen bonding only occurring between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules.


The equal but opposite charges present in the two regions of a polar molecule create?

The equal but opposite charges present in the two regions of a polar molecule create a dipole moment, leading to the molecule having both a positive and a negative pole. This results in the molecule being attracted to other polar molecules through intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding.


What is a polar compound?

A polar compound is a molecule that has an uneven distribution of electrons, resulting in partial positive and negative charges within the molecule. This creates a separation of charge, making the molecule have both a positive and negative end, and enabling it to interact with other polar molecules through dipole-dipole interactions. Water is a common example of a polar compound.


Do non polar molecules have both negative or positive ends?

Oh honey, nonpolar molecules don't play that game of having negative or positive ends. They're like that one friend who stays neutral in every argument. Nonpolar molecules have a symmetrical distribution of electrons, so there's no separation of charge to create those negative or positive ends.

Positive and negative charges would have not effect on an object without charge.


What is the best answer about two adjacent electrical charges if both are positive they attract if both are negative they attract if one is positive and one is negative they attract if one is positive?

Two like charges will repel each and will be attracted to the opposite charges.


What is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?

Positive electric fields point away from positive charges and towards negative charges, while negative electric fields point towards positive charges and away from negative charges. In both cases, the direction indicates the direction that a positive test charge would move if placed in that field.


Does a neutron have both positive and negative charges?

A neutron has no electric charge. However, it is made up of smaller particles (quarks), which have both positive and negative charges. The total sum of all these charges, in the case of a neutron, is zero.


Do Polar molecules such as water have no negative or positive poles?

Polar molecules like water do have distinct positive and negative poles due to an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule. In the case of water, the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge, while each hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge, resulting in a polar molecule.


Is the water molecule slighty negative or slighty positive?

Both. It is slightly negative from one side and slightly positive from the other.


Will positive and positive attract or repel?

'Like' charges (both positive or both negative) repel.Unlike charges (one of each) attract.

Can ions have positive and negative charge?

An ion's charge will be either positive or negative, but not both. The charges are mutually exclusive. A positive ion is called a cation, and a negative ion is called an anion.
