An ion with a negative charge is known as an 'ANION'.
Examples are ;- Cl^(-) , O^(2-) , N^(3-)
NB An ion with a positive charge is a 'CATION'.
Examples are ;- K^(+) , Mg^(2+) , Al^(3+).
Collectively, anions and cations are known as 'ions'.
NNB When an atom loses or gains electrons, to become a charged species, it is no longer an atom, but an ION.
What else can I help you with?
What is the charge on hydroxide ion?
negative one
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
Does an ion have a charge?
An ion does have a charge. That is what makes it an ion.
What is the negative charge for bicarbonate?
The negative charge for bicarbonate (HCO3-) is one.
What is the charge of a sulfate ion?
SO4 -----> 2- (negative 2)
What a negative charge?
A negative charge is the opposite of an ion. An Ion with a negative charge becomes an Anion. Normally with a negative charge they are called Electrons. See electrons for more help
What charge is a negative?
A charge which is not a positive charge is a negative charge.
What particles will have a negative charge?
An electron has a negative charge. Also an ion in which there are more electrons than protons has a negative charge. Such an ion is called as anion.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Is there a limit to the negative charge that can occur on an ion?
Yes, there is a limit to negative charge that can occur on an ion.
What is the charge for bicarbonate ion?
The charge for the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) is -1.
What is the charge on hydroxide ion?
negative one
Do atom have a negative charge?
The hydroxide ion, OH-, has a negative charge of 1-.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
Does an ion have a charge?
An ion does have a charge. That is what makes it an ion.
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.
What is the charge of an ion that gained electrons?
If the ion is positive, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion having one greater positive charge. (A +3 ion will be +4.) If the ion is negative, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion being one less negative than it was previously. (A -4 ion wil be -3. A -1 ion will be neutral and have a zero charge.)
