What is a negative - positive?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
When multiplying numbers what do you do with the positive and negative signs?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
When you divided a negative number by a positive number witth the answer be positive or negative?
A negative divided by a positive is negative. A negative divided by a negative is positive. A positive divided by a positive is positive. A positive divided by a negative is negative.
What does a positive and a neagive equal?
positive and a positive is a positive negative and a negative is a positive to answer your question: positive and a negative is a negative.
What is a negative multiplied by a negative?
negative*negative=positive negative/positive=negative negative\negative=positve negative-positive=change the sign to a plus and then change the number after the sign and get your answer negative +positive=which ever numbr is bigger minus positive+positive=positive
Are electron affinity values usually positive or negative numbers?
Positive for nonmetals and negative for metals
Does metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
NONMETALS
How do nonmetals fill their outer shells when forming bonds with metal?
The positive and negative are attracted
Do nonmetals have positive and negative oxidation numbers?
Nonmetals typically have negative oxidation numbers, as they tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. However, in certain compounds or instances, nonmetals can also have positive oxidation numbers if they lose electrons.
What atom can form a negative ion but usually forms a positive one?
Non Metals
Are forms negative ions metals or nonmetals?
Negative ions are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons, making them nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.
Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?
Non-metals typically become negative ions when they form ions because they gain electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell. This results in a negative charge due to the extra electrons present in the ion.
Is a positive plus a negative make a positive or a negative?
Positive + Negative = Negative Negative + Negative = Positive Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative
What is a negative - positive?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
Is a property that can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers a metal or nonmetal?
A property that can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers typically corresponds to a metal. Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive oxidation states and gain electrons to form negative oxidation states, while nonmetals typically gain electrons to form negative oxidation states.
Can nonmetals have positive and negative oxidation numbers?
Yes, nonmetals can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers depending on the specific compound they are a part of. For example, in compounds such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), oxygen can have an oxidation number of -1 whereas in compounds such as O2F2, oxygen can have a positive oxidation number.
Most of the time What are oxidation numbers of the nonmetals ls?
Most nonmetals typically have negative oxidation numbers when in compounds, such as -1 for halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) and -2 for oxygen (O). However, some nonmetals like nitrogen (N) can have positive oxidation numbers depending on the compound.
