Compounds can be charged by different methods. But naturally most of the compounds are uncharged. So the overall charge of most compounds is neutral.
The total electric charge is always zero.
Organic compounds are compounds necessary to life, and most macromolecules necessary to life contain carbon.
In chemistry, particles with an overall electric charge are called ions.
These compounds are CuSO3 CuS CuCl2..
because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same. when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0
Generally, the overall charge for a compound is zero.
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+,..
+3 is Boron's overall charge. Boron's ionic charge is +5.
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.
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.
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.
According to one physicist I know, most of the time the overall charge of a molecule of water is neutral.
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 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.
Ba has no charge overall but the Barium ion has a 2+ charge.
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.
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.
