Yes nickel is a cation. the formula for Nickel would be Ni+ for Nickel II it would be Ni+2 and for Nickel III it would be Ni+3

How many positive and negative neutrons are in nickel?

Zero. Neutrons do not have a charge; they are neutral.


How many electrons are in a nickel ion that has an atomic number of 28 and a positive charge of 2?

A nickel ion with a +2 charge has lost 2 electrons. Since the atomic number of nickel is 28 and it is now a +2 ion, it has 26 electrons remaining (28 - 2 = 26).


What is the charge of the nickel when the nickel combines with fluorine to form nickel (III) fluoride?

The answer is Ni3+


When nickel combines with fluorine to form nickel (III) fluoride the charge of the nickel ion is?

If the oxidation is iii,charge also +3.Fluoride has -1 charge on it.


What compound is NiPO4?

NiPO4 is Nickel (III) Phospate. The PO4 is a polyatomic particle which is called phosphate and has a charge of 3- and in this example Ni has a charge of 1+, so the charges are switched giving Ni a 3+ charge with stays positive and is written in the middle of the two names. [edit] Not quite... the nomenclature Nickel (III) indicates the Nickel has a charge of 3+. Nickel will either have a charge of 2+ or 3+, it can not have a charge of 1+, so I don't know what the original answerer was saying with switching charges bumping up the ionization of the Nickel. Basically, Ni3+ + PO43- -> NiPO4 OR if you are dealing with Nickel (II) Ni2+ + PO43- -> Ni3(PO4)2 which is also Nickel Phosphate Any way, I just wanted to correct the original post, but the answer to the original question is Nickel Phosphate, or as the original poster stated Nickel (III) Phosphate. -Mike
