Tip for Homework Provided by: blank0000 May 3, 2007 How do youd etermine an elements charge? There have been no votes yet... Like the question above, how do you determine an elements charge in an equation? Also how would you tell if after a reaction if the element was (s) or (aq)

Um... not so sure but you just need to know the basic stuff like hydrogen is a cation (pos. charge) and Chlorine is an anion. You can tell the charge of an element by looking at the group (column, not row) in the periodic table. For example, everything below Cl such as Br and I are also have a negative -1 charge. Now if you want to know the overall charge of a COMPOUND, you just add up the charge (I don't think your question is this complicated, if you just need to know element, I already answered you, just look at the element periodic table). For example, HCl has a neutral net charge of 0 because H=+1 and Cl=-1...	terrie000 May 4, 2007 (374 days and 4 hours ago)
