Integrated circuits are not positive or negative, this call is not, not so called. The pin arrangement of the collector circuit is oriented, so when welding installation, it must be welded in the required direction. Because the function of each pin is fixed and cannot be changed arbitrarily, it must be connected according to the function of the pin, that is, the external circuit that should be connected, not just connected.
In particular, its power pin VCC and ground GND are not allowed to be connected incorrectly, if the connection is reversed, the chip will burn out. You should be talking about the power supply pin, VCC to connect to the positive terminal of the power supply, GND to connect to the negative terminal of the power supply, in this sense, the power supply pin and the power supply connection have positive and negative points.
