Monatomic ions can carry either a positive or negative charge, depending on the number of electrons relative to protons. When an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation. Conversely, if an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion, known as an anion. Thus, monatomic ions can have either charge based on their electron configuration.
Ions can have either a positive or negative charge. Positive ions, known as cations, have more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Negative ions, known as anions, have more electrons than protons, giving them a net negative charge.
Ions with a positive charge are called cations. Common cations include hydrogen ions (H+), sodium ions (Na+), and calcium ions (Ca2+).
This compound is of course neutral.
Ions can have either a positive or a negative charge.
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.
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
Hydronium Ions
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Hydrogen ions are H+Hydroxide ions are OH-neutrons are written n and have no chargeelectrons are written e- and have a negative charge.So only hydrogen ions, H+, has a positive charge.
no cations have a positive charge.
Cations are ions with net positive charge. Anionshave net negative charge.
Cation: an atom who lost electrons.Anion: an atom who gain electrons.Monoatomic ion: ion formed from one element, as chloride Cl-.Polyatomic ion: ion formed from two or more elements, as (SO4)2-.
Ions can have either a positive or negative charge. Positive ions, known as cations, have more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Negative ions, known as anions, have more electrons than protons, giving them a net negative charge.

could be monatomic but many ions are comprised of multiple atoms - for example when sulfuric acid dissociates, one of the ions it yields is SO4-- (having trouble getting a superscript but the ion has a double negative charge)
The charge is 0 if the positive and negative charges were equal
