You can have positive ions and negative ions. For example, take saltwater which dissociates into: Na+ & Cl- Typically the number positive charges and negative charges must balance.

No, ions are.


What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?

When atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged, they form ions. Positively charged ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions.


How can one obtain negatively charged water?

Negatively charged water can be obtained through a process called electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through water to separate it into positively charged hydrogen ions and negatively charged hydroxide ions.


Are cations positively or negatively charged?

Cations are positively charged ions.


What kind of ions do metals form and what kind of ions do nonmetals form?

Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.


What type of ions do ionic compounds contain?

Mad up of positively charge cations and negatively charged anions.


Negatively charged ions?

Yes, there are negatively charged atoms. In each atom, there are protons, which are positively charged, neutrons, which are neutrally charged (neither positive or negative), and lastly electrons, the negatively charged particles that travel outside of each atom in an electron cloud. So yes, there are negatively charged particles in each atom.


A negatively charged atomic particle is called an electron?

It is true that a charged particle is called an ion. Ions that are positively charged are called cations and ions that are negatively charged are called anions.


Is DNA negativly or positivly charged?

DNA is negatively charged due to the phosphate ions in its structure.


Is it true that when salt formed by postively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chlorine ions the charge on the salt becomes positive?

No, when positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chlorine ions combine to form salt (sodium chloride), the overall charge of the salt is neutral. This is because the positive charges from sodium ions balance out the negative charges from chlorine ions.
