That is a very interesting question. Hydrogen ions are usually represented as H+, but in fact this never exists on its own in chemical systems because it is too small and polarising. For instance, hydrochloric acid is usually represented as H+ and Cl-, but in fact the hydrogen ions are carried by water molecules, forming something like H3O+. However occasionally hydrogen forms the hydride ion, H-, in such compounds as Na+H-. Of course, all charges should be superscripts.

What is the ionic charge of h2o?

H2O (water) is a neutral molecule, so it does not have an ionic charge.


What is the ionic charge of phosphite?

Phosphite has an ionic charge of -3.


Will H and Cl make an Ionic or molecular bond?

H and Cl will form a polar covalent bond when they combine. This is because hydrogen has a slight positive charge and chlorine has a slight negative charge, leading to a sharing of electrons in a covalent bond rather than a transfer of electrons in an ionic bond.


What is the ionic charge of stannous?

The ionic charge of stannous (tin) is typically +2.


What is ionic charge of bromate?

The ionic charge of bromate ion (BrO3-) is -1.


What is ionic charge on iodine?

Iodine typically has an ionic charge of -1.


What is the ionic charge of chloride ions?

The ionic charge of chloride ions is -1.


What is the charge of h2o?

The Ionic charge of H2O is 0 because H has a +1 charge and there are two H so it equals +2 and O has a -2 charge. So they balance out to a charge of zero


What is the ionic charge of each element found in the following compound?

The compound is K2SO4 (potassium sulfate) Potassium (K) has a 1+ ionic charge. Sulfur (S) has a 2- ionic charge. Oxygen (O) has a 2- ionic charge.


Is O-H an ionic bond?

No, O-H generally forms a polar covalent bond. The electronegativity difference between oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H) is not large enough to create an ionic bond where electrons are fully transferred. Instead, the electrons are shared unequally, creating a partial positive charge on hydrogen and a partial negative charge on oxygen.


What is the ionic charge for CoN?

The ionic charge for CoN is -3. This is because cobalt (Co) has a 3+ charge, and nitrogen (N) has a 3- charge, resulting in a neutral ionic compound when combined.


What is the net charge of the ionic compound fluoride?
