+4
This compound is of course neutral.
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
When halogens form ions, they are called halide ions. These types of ions have a negative charge due to gaining electrons.
Ions with a positive charge are called cations. Common cations include hydrogen ions (H+), sodium ions (Na+), and calcium ions (Ca2+).
In a sulfide compound, sodium ions are present to balance the charge of the sulfide ions. Sulfide ions (S²⁻) carry a -2 charge, meaning two sodium ions (Na⁺), each with a +1 charge, are needed to achieve charge neutrality. Thus, for every sulfide ion, there are typically two sodium ions in the compound, resulting in a higher number of sodium ions relative to sulfide ions.
Carbon typically forms no ions because it is an element with 6 protons and 6 electrons, resulting in a neutral charge. However, in certain chemical reactions, carbon can gain or lose electrons to form ions.
In a compound such as carbon fluoride, the number of ions present depends on the ionic form of the elements. For example, carbon typically forms covalent bonds and does not usually exist as an ion, while fluoride ions have a charge of -1. So, in a compound like carbon fluoride (CF₄ or CF₂), there are no ions of carbon but four fluoride ions for CF₄ and two fluoride ions for CF₂.
No. Any element on its own is neutral, meaning it does not have a charge. Carbon rarely forms ions, and when it does they are negatively charged.
In simple chemistry, no. For carbon to be attracted to an ion it would have to be charged. A stable carbon could only have a small partial charge which is that which causes polar bonding. This charge is not big and would have little effect, especially in solutions.
The charge of sulfate ions is 2-.
The charge of nitrate ions is -1.
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
The ionic charge of chloride ions is -1.
This compound is of course neutral.
A crystal of salt consists of electrons and positive ions. How does the net charge of the electrons compare with the net charge of the ions
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.
