both. no plant can live without it, having to use photosynthesis to get food. there are also downsides, the polar ice caps are melting which is causing the sea level to rise therefore changing the weather

Also it has no charge it's a compound not an ion.

Is an isotope nitrogen a positive charge or negative charge?

Nitrogen isotopes do not have a specific positive or negative charge. The charge of an isotope depends on the number of protons and electrons it has relative to each other. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is balanced by the number of electrons (negative charge).


Is NITROGEN a positive or negative ion?

Nitrogen typically forms negative ions, such as nitride (N3-) ions, by gaining three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Hydroxide positive or negative?

I think it is a positive charge!!


Why does Nitrate have a negative charge?

Nitrate has a negative charge because Nitrogen and Oxygen both have negative charges. Electrons are negative and Protons are positive. You can never gain or lose protons, only electrons. Because Nitrogen wants, as all elements do, to have a full shell of outer (valence) electrons so that it can have the same arrangement as its closest noble gas (Neon), Nitrogen needs to gain 3 electrons. If you have 0 + -3 then what do you have? A negative number. It is the same for electrons because they have a negative charge. If you gain electrons, then you end up with more negative atomic particles than positive atomic particles (protons). Why you have a negative charge is because you have gained a negitive particle, the electron. Going from neutral (having the same protons as electrons) to negative (having more electrons than protons). Hope that wasn't too confusing. -Jahna


What does positive and negative charges make?

They stem from the nucleus of an atom. The atom is composed of electrons, which emit a negative charge, protons which emit positive charges and neutrons which have a neutral charge. When an atom, had a plus positive or minus negative charged, it is called an ion. ion because it either has an extra electron giving it a negative charge, or its missing an electron, giving it a positive charge

Does NH2 have partial negative charge?

In most compounds, the nitrogen in NH2 has a partial negative charge while the hydrogen each carry a partial positive charge. It can also exist as the Amide ion with a full negative charge.


What is the charge of nitrogen-15?

There is no charge. Nitrogen-15 is an isotope, which refers to the number of neutrons. Neutrons do not have a charge.


What is the formal charge on the nitrogen atom in rm NO?

The formal charge on the nitrogen atom in the nitrosyl ion (NO^-) is 0. Oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen, so it takes on the negative formal charge while nitrogen carries a positive formal charge.


Does cyanide have a positive charge?

No, cyanide (CN-) is actually an anion with a negative charge. It is composed of a carbon atom bonded to a nitrogen atom with a single electron, which gives the molecule a negative charge.


Is NITROGEN a positive or negative ion?

Nitrogen typically forms negative ions, such as nitride (N3-) ions, by gaining three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?

Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton


What charge electron charge positive or negative?

Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.


Does nitrogen monoxide have one positive or one negative charge?

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) has no overall charge because nitrogen typically contributes 3 valence electrons and oxygen typically contributes 2, resulting in a total of 5 electrons. This allows for the molecule to be neutral.


Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?

No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.


What is the difference between a negative and a positive?

positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge


What type of charge do an isotope of nitrogen have?

An isotope of nitrogen can have a neutral charge if it has the same number of protons and electrons. However, isotopes can also be ions if they have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge.
