What does a sodium atom become when it loses its only valence electrons?
Sodium ionSodium, Na, becomes a single positive cation Na+
Name the ion SO32?
The ion SO32- is called sulfite ion. It is composed of one sulfur atom and three oxygen atoms, with a charge of -2.
What is the difference between a monatomic ion and a polyatomic ion?
A monoatomic ion has only one atom examples are chloride, Cl-, fluoride, F-, sodium Na+ A polyatomic ion has more than one, e.g sulfate SO42-, nitrate, NO3-, mercurous, Hg22+ Poly is from the Greek and means "many"
How many chargesin a sulfur ion?
The most common ion formed from a single sulfur atom is a sulfide ion, with a charge of -2.
How many bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen in a hydroxide atom?
A hydroxide molecule has one bond between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atom donates its electron to form a bond with the oxygen atom, resulting in a covalent bond between the two atoms.
An ion composed of a single atom?
no
Does bromide contain oxygen?
No. The bromide ion (Br-) contains only a single atom of bromine with an extra electron.
Is chloride ion a compound?
No, the chloride ion is a single elemental ion, Cl-.
What are ions are polyatomic?
A charged ion that is composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded.No: Each chloride ion contains only one atom.
Is S2-a polyatomic ion?
No. S2- is a monatomic ion. A polyatomic ion contains at least two atoms. You can identify a polyatomic ion as it will have the symbols for more than one element (OH-), a subscripted number (O22-), or a combination of the two (CO32-). The superscript in the ion only indicates the charge.
What does a sodium atom become when it loses its only valence electrons?
Sodium ionSodium, Na, becomes a single positive cation Na+
Is KOH a binary ionic or an ionic with a polyatomic ion?
KOH is an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion. The hydroxide ion (OH-) is a polyatomic ion that is composed of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom.
Molecular ion are composed of more than one atom?
molecular ions
What are single ions called?
Ions that consist of a single atom are called monatomic ions
Why is peroxide considered a poly-atomic ion and not a simple ion?
Peroxide is considered a polyatomic ion because it is composed of more than one atom covalently bonded together. It has a unique structure and charge as a whole that cannot be explained by a single atom gaining or losing electrons. Simple ions are single atoms that have gained or lost electrons to obtain a full outer electron shell.
What is the term for a single atom bearing a negative or a positive chargeas a result of gaining or losing valence electrons?
An ion is a single atom that carries a positive or negative charge due to gaining or losing valence electrons. The atom becomes an ion when it has an unequal number of protons and electrons.
What ion is NH41 plus?
The ion NH4+ is the ammonium ion. It is a positively charged polyatomic ion composed of one nitrogen atom and four hydrogen atoms.
