Almost always yes.
There are some weird ionic compounds you can make from group 1 or group 2 metals where another metal accepts the electron. An example is cesium auride, melt cesium and gold together and you get not an alloy but a clear melt , a salt which contains Cs+ and Au- ions. There a few of these chemical weirdies. These an old saying that every rule in inorganic chemistry has an excepotiuon and this is one of them.
What else can I help you with?
Atoms with a positive or negative charge are called ions?
That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
Particles in atoms can be?
negative,positive,none
Treu or false Atoms have a positive charge?
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?
No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.
How could one atom become positive and and another become negative?
Ions (atoms that have lost or gained electrons) can make an atom become positive (a cation) or negative (a anion). When an atom loses an electron it becomes positive since there are more protons (positively charged particles) than there are electrons (negatively charged particles) at that point. When an atom gains an electron it becomes negative because there are more electrons than are protons at that point.
Will atoms of a non metallic element form positive or negative ions?
Positive ions
Atoms with a positive or negative charge are called ions?
That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
What is an atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge?
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
What are atoms called when they become charged positively or negative?
In general, an atom with a charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion.A positively charged atom is called a cation and a negatively charged atom is an anion.
What are atoms OR groups of atoms with a positive OR negative charge?
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
How do some atoms in covalent bonds become slighty positive or slightly negative?
When the difference of the electronegativity between the atoms is significant the molecule is less or more polar.
Particles in atoms can be?
negative,positive,none
Do atoms have positive and negative parts?
yes
What kind of bond is formed between metal and metal?
The very heart of bonding is the attraction of positive and negative charges. There are three standard types of bonding among metallic and nonmetallicÊatoms. Non metallic atoms that can bond to other non metallic atoms is called covalent bonding. Non metallic atoms that can bond to metallic atoms is called ionic bonding. And lastly, metallic atoms that can bond to other metallic atoms is called metallic bonding.
Do atoms have a higher number of positive charges or negative?
Normally atoms are neutral.
What describes atoms that have a positive and negative end?
Atoms do not have positive and negative ends.Molecules, which are made up of several atoms, can be positive at one end and negative at the other; these are called "polar" molecules. The most common polar molecule is water, made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; H2O.
If a proton is negative and a neutron is positive when they come together equally how can there be positive and negative atoms?
Loss or gain of electrons.
