It can help identify whether or not the molecule or ion is polar as well as identify if there are any "ends" of the molecule which can be more easily involved in a reaction.
An ion has an electrical charge.
ionic bonding
A hydrogen ion, H+
A molecular ion is a type of ion that either has less or more electrons than it has protons. A polar molecule is a molecule that has positive charges near its center and negative charges outside that center.
A molecule hasn't an electrical charge. An ion has a positive charge (cation) or a negative charge (anion).
BeCl2
The ClF2+ ion is bent. (The VSEPR AXE notation is AX2E2 ). The ClF2- ion (AX2E3) is linear.
For example nitric oxide (NO) and beryllium hydride (BeH2) have linear molecules.
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
ion know
Yes, it does. It is composed of 2 Hydrogen ions covalently bonded (bent shape) to one Oxygen ion. Since they are covalently bonded, it is a molecule.
Na+ is not a molecule; it is an ion, specifically a sodium ion.
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
when a water molecule gains an hydrogen ion from another water molecule
Chlorine ion (particularly Chloride ion) is more stable than Chlorine molecule
An ion has an electrical charge.
