So that it is stable. A stable ion means that it is no longer reactive and can be used in daily life. Salt is a good example of this. Salt is etable because it has found an atom with which it can share 8 valence electrons with.
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
When an atom has a positive or negative charge, it is called an ion. A positively charged ion is called a cation, while a negatively charged ion is called an anion. Ion formation occurs when an atom gains or loses electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
you would add the appropiate number of positive atoms to balence out the atom. for example if an atom has a charge of -5 you would add 5 positvly charged atoms to make the overall charge 0. that will make it a neutral atom.
No, positive objects can contain a mix of positive and negative charges. For example, in an atom, the nucleus contains positive protons while the surrounding electron cloud contains negative electrons.
An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
it is a negative and positve ion sweg
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
An ion's charge will be either positive or negative, but not both. The charges are mutually exclusive. A positive ion is called a cation, and a negative ion is called an anion.
To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
negative
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
The ion acetate is negative.
Sodium chloride is very useful. Sodium ion is the positive ion.
The positive ion for CaS is Ca^2+ (calcium ion) and the negative ion is S^2- (sulfide ion).
A salt is what is formed when a negative ion pairs up with a positive ion to neutralize their respective charges. A fat is a fairly complex molecule that has a glyceride, and a few chain of faty acids. They are very different molecules .
