What is A molecule with one end positively charged and one end negatively charged?

A molecule with one end positively charged and one end negatively charged is called a polar molecule. This charge separation is due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms in the molecule, leading to an uneven distribution of electrons. Water is a common example of a polar molecule.


What is a compound formed from a positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid called?

AnswerIt sounds like you're referring to conjugate acid and conjugate base. See links at left.The result is salt.


Is salt a salt?

Yes. Salt contains the positive ion Na+ and the negative ion Cl-. That means it is a salt.


What happens when a positive ion of the base combines with the negative ion?

When a positive ion of a base combines with a negative ion, they form an ionic compound called a salt. This reaction is known as neutralization and results in the formation of water molecules. The salt produced depends on the specific base and negative ion involved in the reaction.


How is salt described?

In chemistry, a salt is any neutral chemical compound made of cations (positive ions) bound to anions (negative ions). The main type of salt is sodium chloride.Solutions of salts in water are called electrolytes. Electrolytes, as well as molten salts, conduct electricity.Salts can melt ice.A salt can also be defined as an ionic compound which dissociates forming a positive ion other than hydrogen ion and a negative ion other than hydroxyl ion is called a salt.(From Wikipedia-en)


Are there any metal elements in salt?

All inorganic salts are composed of a metal ion (or an ammonium ion) and an acid radical ion. Table salt for example is composed of a sodium ion and a chlorine ion (the radical ion of hydrochloric acid).Organic salts (called esters) may or may not contain a metal ion. Organic salts that do not contain a metal ion, its role is taken by an alkaloid radical ion.


Is calcium carbonate a salt?

Yes, it is a (insoluble) salt (called limestone), chemical formula CaCO3.


What is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion?

An ionic compound is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion. The metal ion donates electrons to the nonmetal ion, forming a stable electrostatic attraction between the positively charged metal ion and the negatively charged nonmetal ion. This results in the formation of a lattice structure in the solid state.


Is ammonium acetate an example of zwitter ion?

Yes, ammonium acetate is an example of a zwitterion. A zwitterion is a molecule that contains both positive and negative charged groups, and in the case of ammonium acetate, it contains a positively charged ammonium group and a negatively charged acetate group.


Is there any Nitrate ion that is similar to the trivalent Phosphate ion?

YES.There is a NO43- ion, which is called the Orthonitrate ion. Only its Sodium and Potassium salts are known. These are made by fusing the Nitrate salt with their oxide.NaNO3 + Na2O ----> Na3NO4KNO3 + K2O ----> K3NO4
