How do you calculate number of electrons of a given element?
You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.
An electrically neutral is what?
an electrically neutral atom is just an atom. Atoms with more or fewer electrons (negatively charged) compared with their protons (which determines the element) are considered ions.
Is the magnesium atom electrically neutral or electrically charged?
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral.
In an electrically neutral atom of any element there are equal of?
The number of protons and electrons is equal.
What is an example of an electrically neutral atom?
An electrically neutral atom is one that has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Which atom is electrically neutral?
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
Why is an atom electrically neutral inspite of the presence of charged particles it it?
Because an electrically neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Why is uranium electrically neutral?
Any atom is neutral in the normal state.After loss or gain of electrons an atom become electrically charged.
Why is an atom electrically neutral?
An atom has the same number of positive protons and negative electrons so the charges balance out to zero
In the atom which is usually electrically neutral?
Na+
Is a aluminum an isotope ion or neutral atom?
An alumimium atom is electrically neutral and it is an isotope of aluminum.
How does an s2- ion differ from an electrically neutral sulfur atom?
All ions differ from an electrically neutral atom in that they are missing or have gained one or more electrons. A S2- atom has 2 less electrons than a neutral atom.
