∙ 11y agoIonic compounds are neutral because, even though they consist of positive and negative ions, the relative proportions between those ions are such that the total number of negative charges is the same as the total number of positive charges, thus summing to zero.

∙ 11y agoIonic compounds are neutral because they have an equal number of positive and negative charges. In a crystal lattice structure, the positive and negative ions are arranged in such a way that overall the compound has no net charge. This balance of positive and negative charges is what makes the compound stable.
Ionic compounds are neutral overall because they consist of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that balance each other out. The total positive charge from the cations is equal to the total negative charge from the anions, resulting in a neutral compound.
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of positive and negative charges. This is achieved through the bonding of positive and negative ions.
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
A proton is positive, an electron is negative, and a neutron is neutral.
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the positive and negative charges from the ions balance each other out. In these compounds, the total positive charge from the cations is equal to the total negative charge from the anions, resulting in no overall electrical charge. This balance ensures that the compound is stable and does not exhibit a net charge.
Electrically Neutral
no, as ionic compounds contain equal amounts of negative and positive charges and are neutral.

To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.

I was pretty sure it was positive. However, according to Edge 2020, it is negative.
Neutral
