In Ionic bonding, ions can become charged by giving or taking electrons. Ions are always trying to have a full outer shell of electrons because that makes them stable. Therefore, in the compound sodium chloride (NaCl or Table Salt) sodium loses one electron to chlorine. Therefore the sodium has a + charge, because it has one more proton than electron. The chlorine has a - charge because it has one more electron than proton.
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.
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
When discussing ions, remember that opposites attract. Therefore, when ions bond together, you will find positive ions interacting with negative ions so the final molecule has no charge overall.
False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Ions can have either a positive or negative charge. Positive ions, known as cations, have more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Negative ions, known as anions, have more electrons than protons, giving them a net negative charge.
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
These are ions: positive (cations) and negative (anions).
The charge is 0 if the positive and negative charges were equal
Cations have a positive charge and anions have a negative charge.
That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
I think it is a positive charge!!
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.
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
Cations are ions with net positive charge. Anionshave net negative charge.
This compound is of course neutral.
