Parth (parthkohli):

Just an idea.

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmm... So... For example, \(NH_4^{+}\) is an ion. When you remove one hydrogen, \(NH_3\) is what comes out of it. How is that electron added? What's happening here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No dude.... It's basically the H+ ion which is migrating away...or rather being removed by some other substance

Parth (parthkohli):

Makes sense.

Parth (parthkohli):

Can you give me an example where something is added and becomes an ion?

Parth (parthkohli):

Not likely to exist.

Parth (parthkohli):

I don't think that question makes sense. Well...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably stuff like (so4)2-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the s became -ve after the 4 oxygens were added

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dude can you help me out: Can an ionic substance be coloured because of unpaired electrons in its anion part?

Parth (parthkohli):

So removing one oxygen gets you sulphur trioxide.

Parth (parthkohli):

And I have no idea what "coloured" means.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

colored

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess you use American english

Parth (parthkohli):

Yeah lol, but I have no knowledge of the subject. I use British English.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thanks anyways...

Parth (parthkohli):

I know what unpaired electrons are, I know what anions are. But I don't know their correlation with colour.

Parth (parthkohli):

Thank you very much?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically unpaired e- cause color.....stuff like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the medal..rather new around here

OpenStudy (anonymous):
