Does silica dioxide have a charge?

Silica dioxide (SiO2) is a neutral compound and does not have an overall charge. Each silicon atom is covalently bonded to two oxygen atoms, forming a stable structure with no net charge.


What is the chemical name and the charge of so2?

The chemical name for SO2 is sulfur dioxide. The charge of SO2 is 0 since it is a neutral molecule.


Is manganese IV oxide and manganese dioxide the same thing?

Yes: An oxide ion has a charge of -2. Two of them have a combined charge of -4, which is exactly neutralized by a manganese (IV) cation.


How is the environment impacted by the charge associated with carbon dioxide emissions?

Carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global warming and climate change by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to rising temperatures, melting ice caps, more extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and wildlife. Overall, the environment is negatively impacted by the charge associated with carbon dioxide emissions.


Why does sulfur have a 1 charge in sulfur dioxide?

I don't think sulfur has a charge since sulfur dioxide is a covalent bond. In covalent bonding no charge is produced because its between two nonmetals which share electrons. Since neither atom gains or loses electrons, the protons and electrons are balanced, producing no charge. In response to the answer above, I would first as a question. First by "charge" I assume you are referring to the oxidation number? If so, then you have to look at the charges on each of the atoms present in the molecule! First, oxygen has a -2 charge for each atom. Since Sulfur dioxide has TWO oxygens each oxygen has a -2 charge meaning that there is a total -4 charge for the two oxygens. Since sulfur dioxide doesn't have a charge on the molecule, all the charges for all the atoms must add up to 0. The oxygens already have a -4 charge which means that the sulfur has a +4 charge! Of course all of this is in reference to oxidation numbers. I'm thinking the first person to post might have been confusing the charge on the molecule with the oxidation numbers of each of the atoms?

What is the charge of carbonate?

Carbonic acid is a neutral molecule. However, carbonic acid is unstable and often dissociates into a proton (which is donated to a base) and bicarbonate, which has a charge of -1. Loss of the other proton yields carbonate, which has a charge of -2.
