  1. Are ions a type of atom? : r/chemistry - Reddit

    Jul 17, 2022 · Ions can have more than one atom. But in general I would think of a single ionized atom as still being an atom, same way it's still an atom if it's within a molecule.

  2. How do ions become ions, can ions exist as single atom (ions) or …

    Ions become ions through the process of ionization, which results from large amounts of energy forcing electrons off of the valcence shell of an atomic nuclei. They do not have to be in a …

  3. ELI5: What are Ions, and what do they do? : r/explainlikeimfive - Reddit

    An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost an electron. Both positive and negative ions exist in the air. Positive air ions are generally molecules of carbon dioxide that have lost and …

  4. How exactly does the movement of ions conduct electricity? If ... - Reddit

    Oct 4, 2023 · Short answer: The ions "carry" the electrons to the other electrode, thus, delivering current.

  5. How do I know if a ion is negative or positive? : r/chemistry - Reddit

    Apr 12, 2023 · Hi, I know how to calculate the electronegativity (delta), but how do I know if ions are negative or positive? Or more accurate, how do I calculate…

  6. Do ions exist on their own, or only as salts? : r/chemistry - Reddit

    Aug 20, 2019 · You could have ions in solution (salt water for example) or in a gaseous state as plasma.

  7. eli5 Why are Ionic Compounds not considered molecules?

    Jul 12, 2022 · Ions (the pieces that make up ionic compounds) are not bound together as strongly as the atoms that make up molecules are. Ionic compounds often readily separate under the …

  8. Table for memorizing Polyatomic Ions roughly organized by …

    I'd like to share this table, but more than that, I'd like to ask you for suggestions on how you would group polyatomic ions to make it easier to memorize. I've made this table after watching the …

  9. Are negative ion products dangerous? : r/AskPhysics - Reddit

    A few years ago, someone on youtube showed many products labeled as such were radioactive. It's also just nonsense. If you want more negative ions in your body, add some more salt to …

  10. ELI5 what ions and isotopes are : r/explainlikeimfive - Reddit

    Jan 13, 2022 · Ions have a different number of electrons than protons, so they're electromagnetically charged. Isotopes have a different number of neutrons, so they're …
