This is because the H2O has a positive side and a negative side. The negative Oxygen side will attract to positive the positive Hydrogen side will attract to negative. it has two sides because it is a bent molecule.
negative,positive,none
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.
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.
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.
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
When positive and negative ions attract each other, an ionic bond is formed. Ionic bonding refers to the complete transfer of valence electron between atoms.
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
Atoms that can selectively hydrogen bond to water include oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine. These atoms have a partial negative charge that allows them to attract the partially positive hydrogen atoms in water molecules.
This is because the H2O has a positive side and a negative side. The negative Oxygen side will attract to positive the positive Hydrogen side will attract to negative. it has two sides because it is a bent molecule.
yes
negative,positive,none
Normally atoms are neutral.
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.
Yes, if they are ions
Loss or gain of electrons.
