Compounds can be charged by different methods. But naturally most of the compounds are uncharged. So the overall charge of most compounds is neutral.

Generally, the overall charge for a compound is zero.


What is a compound that has a charge?

Some compounds have a charge. It depends on the charges of the components of the compound. For example, NO3- has a charge of -1 because the charge of its components are each O is 2- and the N is 5+,..


What is the charge of boron?

+3 is Boron's overall charge. Boron's ionic charge is +5.


Why do some compounds have no charge?

Strictly, all compounds have no charge. What would be a compound if neutral but actually has a charge should properly be called an ion. Some compounds, such as the diatomic molecules of the elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, have perfectly symmetrical covalent bonds without even any polarity. Most covalent bonds between dissimilar atoms have some polarity, as do all ionicly bonded compounds, but this does not mean that the compounds themselves have net electrical charge.


Why ionic compounds are neutral even though thy are made up of charged particles?

Ionic compounds are neutral overall because the positive charge of the cations is balanced by the negative charge of the anions. In a solid ionic compound, the cations and anions are arranged in a lattice structure that balances out the charges. This results in an overall neutral charge for the compound.


What is the oxidation number for CN?

The oxidation number for CN is -1. This is because the oxidation number for nitrogen in most compounds is -3 and the overall charge of the CN ion is -1.


What Is the overall charge on a molecules of water?

According to one physicist I know, most of the time the overall charge of a molecule of water is neutral.


What is the oxidation number for F2O?

The oxidation number for oxygen in most compounds is -2. Since there are two oxygen atoms in F2O, this gives a total charge of -4. Therefore, the oxidation number for each fluorine atom in F2O is +2 to balance out the overall charge to zero.


Most objects have what charge and why?

Most objects have a neutral charge because they have an equal number of positive and negative charges present. This balance of charges results in no overall charge for the object.


What is the most common charge of barium?

Ba has no charge overall but the Barium ion has a 2+ charge.


All compounds are neutral.?

Compounds can be neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged. The overall charge of a compound depends on the balance between the positively and negatively charged ions or atoms that make it up.


Charge on nitrogen monoxide?

The charge on nitrogen monoxide, also known as nitric oxide, is neutral. It contains one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom, each with their own electronegativities, resulting in a balanced distribution of electrons and no overall charge.
