What do you call a neutrally charged atom?
A neutrally charged atom is just called an atom. This is when the atom's number of electrons is equal to its number of protons, canceling out all far-field electromagnetic effects. If the atom has a net charge, it is then called an ion.
Compare the number of electrons of a negative ion to that of the neutral atom include both negative ion and neutral atom in your answer?
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
An atom that is balanced or stable has the same number of negative charges as it does positive charges therefore you know that a balanced atom has an equal number of electron and?
Protons. A balanced or stable atom has the same number of protons (positive charges) as electrons (negative charges), ensuring overall neutrality. If this balance is disrupted, the atom may become an ion, carrying a positive or negative charge.
Does an atom have electirc charge?
An atom does not have an overall electrical charge, because the positive charges in the nucleus are balanced by the negative charges in the electron cloud around the nucleus. When an atom loses or gains an electron, it is called an "ion".
When does an atom become electrically balanced?
An atom gains a net charge by losing or gaining one or more electrons. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a positively charged ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it will become a negatively charged ion.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
What atom doesn't carry a charge?
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
What a ion?
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
How do you find the number of electron domains in an atom or ion?
This is based upon the number of protons in the atom's [or ion's] nucleus: it's atomic number. Protons possess one positive charge, normally balanced or offset by the negative charge possessed by an electron.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
