There is a different between a postive and negative ion. Ion's depend on protons and electrons. If there is 4 protons and 5 electrons , it would make it a negative ion because the extra electron would have no other neutron to pair up with to make it a balance atom. If there is 4 protons and 3 electrons , it would make it a postive ion because the extra proton doesn't have any other electron to pair up to , to cancel it out. When there is an even amount of electrons and protons then the atom would be a balance atom. So therefore it would have no charge. So therefore telling the difference form a postive and negative ion depends on the extra proton or neutron.
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
they will attract if they have equal and opposite charges, such as Na and Cl
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.
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron
A positive atom (ion) has a deficit of electrons, while a negative atom (ion) has a surplus of electrons.There ar ions. The negativ atoms are antimaterial atoms.
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
A hydrated ion, is an ion that is surrounded by water molecules. The water molecules are attracted to the opposite pole of the ion. Such as negative to positive.
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
The distance between centers of positive and negative ion in the ionic crystals vary from one structure to another.
A positive ion is attracted to a negative ion.
Ionic bonds form between positive and negative ions.
No. The mutual attractions between many positive ions and many negative ions result in a compound with ionic bonds.
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
they will attract if they have equal and opposite charges, such as Na and Cl
A cation is a positive ion (as Na+). An anion is a negative ion (as Cl-).
