The charge on the Sc ions in Sc2O3 is 3+. This can be determined by recognizing that oxide ions always have a charge of 2-, and there are three of them, so the total oxide charge is 6-. There are two scandium ions, and since the compound must be neutral, the total charge on the two scandium ions has to be 6+, so the charge on each scandium ion is 3+.
3+
2+
Scandium has the chemical symbol Sc and 21 is it's atomic number. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on this (usually considered) rare earth element.
scandium oxide
Hydrogen ions are H+Hydroxide ions are OH-neutrons are written n and have no chargeelectrons are written e- and have a negative charge.So only hydrogen ions, H+, has a positive charge.
Yes, hydroxide (OH-) ions have a negative electrical charge.
Ammonium ions have a charge of +1 and Chromate ions have a charge of -2. When these ions react, they form Ammonium Chromate; 2NH4CrO4

On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
This compound is of course neutral.
A crystal of salt consists of electrons and positive ions. How does the net charge of the electrons compare with the net charge of the ions
Calcium ions have a charge of plus two, and bromine ions have a charge of minus one.
Plus charge, ie, it has H3O^+ ions (hydronium ions)
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
When halogens form ions, they are called halide ions. These types of ions have a negative charge due to gaining electrons.
Magnesium ions have a charge of 2+ and will react with negative ions to form ionic compounds with an overall charge of 0.
