Does an ion have a charge?
An ion does have a charge. That is what makes it an ion.
Losing or gaining electrons makes an atom a?
Ion
How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to gain to form an ion with a 2 charge?
It needs 2 electrons for this. Oxygen makes -2 ion by gaining 2 electrons. It is the most stable ion that oxygen makes.
What does a hydrogen ion donate?
A hydrogen ion, when in reaction, usually donates its core which essentially is a proton that attracts negative charges, which in turn makes the positively charged hydrogen ion an electrophile.
What ion makes up 7.7 percent of the ions in seawater?
sulfate
Does an ion have a charge?
An ion does have a charge. That is what makes it an ion.
Losing or gaining electrons makes an atom a?
Ion
Is silver nitrate a positive ion or negative ion?
it is a negative ion because silver doesnt attracts positive ions which makes it more metallic it is a negative ion because silver doesnt attracts positive ions which makes it more metallic
What is a prefix for election?
-ion (It makes it a noun.)
How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to gain to form an ion with a 2 charge?
It needs 2 electrons for this. Oxygen makes -2 ion by gaining 2 electrons. It is the most stable ion that oxygen makes.
What is an Ion Hair Straightener?
An ion hair straightener is a straightener that changes the atoms in the hair to ions. This makes the hair smoother, sleeker and makes it look more healthy.
What material in cyanide makes it poisonous?
The ion cyan, CN-.
What would the effect be of Nitrate ion in a solution on the color emission?
The nitrate ion concentration affects an equilibrium, because it does this, it makes a more colorful ion change that is concentrated.
What makes Na ion K ion and H ion similar?
All are ions with a 1+ charge due to the atom having lost its only valence electron.
What is the name for Ni5P2?
Ni3 (PO4)2 can exist and is called nickel II phosphate. Nickel in this case makes the +2 ion. Your compound shows that the phosphate ion makes a -2 charge, which is always incorrect, it can only make a -3 ion.
What is the probable ion formed from Br?
Br-. Bromine will grab an electron to make itself more stable, which makes it a negative ion.
What type of bond is formed when a element makes a salt?
ion attraction
