Atoms have higher number of positive charges than negative charges?
the positive number of a atom
What else is the number of protons called?
positive charges
Atoms have a higher number of positive charges than negative charges?
Cations, positively charged atoms e.g. Na+. The positive charges are the protons min the nucleus and the negative charges are electrons.
What is The number of positive charges in an atom is equal to?
The number of protons in the nucleus, the Atomic Number
What does a neutral solution have an equal number of?
Positive and negative charges.
What is the net ionic change for an ionic compound?
neutral as the number of positive charges and negative charges are equal
Is it positive to identify an atom by the number of protons it has?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom positively identifies the element of which the atom is an example, whether the atom is neutral or ionized.
What is the number of protons called?
positive charges
Does changing the number of protons in a atom make an ion?
No, if you change the number of protons in an atom you will be changing the element. Changing the number of electrons turns it into an ion, either positive or negative
In molecular compounds are the total number of positive charges equal to the total number of electrical charges?
yes. molecular compound is neutral. if a compound has charges, that's known as ionic compound.
Why is each ionic compound considered to be electrically neutral?
Because the total number of positive charges and negative charges are equal.
Do atoms have a higher number of positive charges or negative?
Normally atoms are neutral.
