because it will have more electrons
add electrons= add charge
The charge of nickel when two electrons are lost is +2. When nickel loses two electrons, it becomes a cation with a charge of +2.
NiPO4 is Nickel (III) Phospate. The PO4 is a polyatomic particle which is called phosphate and has a charge of 3- and in this example Ni has a charge of 1+, so the charges are switched giving Ni a 3+ charge with stays positive and is written in the middle of the two names. [edit] Not quite... the nomenclature Nickel (III) indicates the Nickel has a charge of 3+. Nickel will either have a charge of 2+ or 3+, it can not have a charge of 1+, so I don't know what the original answerer was saying with switching charges bumping up the ionization of the Nickel. Basically, Ni3+ + PO43- -> NiPO4 OR if you are dealing with Nickel (II) Ni2+ + PO43- -> Ni3(PO4)2 which is also Nickel Phosphate Any way, I just wanted to correct the original post, but the answer to the original question is Nickel Phosphate, or as the original poster stated Nickel (III) Phosphate. -Mike
there is no charge. NH4 has a plus one charge and sulfate (SO4) has a minus two charge. since there is two NH4 the charges balance out
two elements with ions with a 2 plus charge are Sulfurand Oxygen
25 cents plus 5 cents = 30 cents. One of these coins is not a nickel.
Nickel(II) is the plus two (+2) oxidation state of nickel (Ni), and we write it Ni(II) or Ni++ when we set it down.
A nickel, two quarters, and a penny equal 56 cents.
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. It consists of two protons and two neutrons so it has mass (approximately the same as the mass of a helium atom) and charge (a plus two charge because each proton has a charge of plus one and the neutrons are not charged).
No, a gamma ray does not have a plus two charge. A gamma ray is electromagnetic energy, and has no charge at all. It is the alpha particle, a type of particulate radiation, that has a charge of plus two. Use the links below for more information.
NiS is the formula for nickel sulfide. The nickel(II) ion has a 2+ charge and the sulfide ion is 2-. When the Ni(II)2+ bonds with the S2- the 2s cancel out and you are left with NiS (nickel sulfide). E. Morris
The combined formula for Nickel (II) phosphate is Ni3(PO4)2. This is because the charge on nickel (II) ion is 2+ and the phosphate ion has a charge of 3-. To balance the charges, you need three Ni ions for every two phosphate ions.
This cation has 24 electrons.
