Ions are electrically charged particles. They form when an atom contains an unequal number of protons in the nucleus and electrons in the electron cloud. Of course, there should be neutrons in the nucleus too but that makes no difference since neutrons are neither -1e or +1e but are electrically neutral.Since protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, if there are more electrons than protons, the atom or molecule will be negatively charged. This is called an anion.Conversely, if there are more protons than electrons, the atom or molecule will be positively charged. This is called a cation. GOOD LUCK.
Atoms which have the same number of electrons and protons. They are electrically charged particles that have lost or gained an electron from an atoms valence shell. When ions are missing an electron they are positively charged (ciation) and when they have an extra electron they carry a negative charge (anions) Ions "borrow" electrons thus creating an ionic bond.
Ions are formed when a electrically neutral atom either gives away or accepts electrons. They can be positive or negative.
An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
An ion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons, as a cation (positive ion), which is created by electron loss and is attracted to the cathode in electrolysis, or as an anion (negative ion), which is created by an electron gain and is attracted to the anode. The valence by an ion is equal to the number of electrons lost or gained and is indicated by a plus sign for cations and a minus sign for anions.
an atom that has lost or gained electrons to form a full outer shell, if it combinds with another atom so both get a full outer shell you use the term ionic bonds
A ion is a atom or molecule. This is when electrons is not equal to the total number of protons.
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
Ion is a charge of electrons which shows negative ion or positive ion.
The name for this ion is:barium ion
The most chemically reactive ion is the hydrogen ion.
The chemical formula of hydronium ion is (H3O)+.For the "oxide ion" check your spelling.
Discretion, Excretion, Accretion, Secretion, Bet ion, Get ion, Jet ion, Let ion, Met ion, Net ion, Pet ion, Set ion, Skeet ion, Vet ion, Wet ion.
Ion solvent
hydroxide ion
Ion
Barium ion, with a charge of +2.
The hydroxyl ion is not a positive ion but rather a negative ion. The hydroxyl ion or anion is also known as hydroxide.
Water disassociates to form the OH- ion or the hydroxide ion, and the H3O+ ion, otherwise known as the hydronium ion.
why is an iron ion attracted to a sulfide ion but not to a zinc ion
Chloride ion is larger in size.
an ion
An ion does have a charge. That is what makes it an ion.
barium ion is a cation. rest listed are anions.
