Explain how an atoms becomes an ion?
an ion is an atom with a posotive or negative charge. this means the atom gains or loses an electron
Does a proton carry a posotive charge?
yes. +1 charge
Does The proton carries a posotive charge?
Yes it does.
What charge does an electron have?
An electron has a negative charge.
Does an electron have a positive charge?
No, an electron has a negative charge.
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?
No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
To form an ion what does a calcium atom gain or loose?
A calcium atom typically loses two electrons to form a calcium ion with a 2+ charge. The loss of these electrons allows the calcium ion to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas.
The charge on an electron?
The charge on an electron is -1.602 x 10^-19 coulombs.
What electron has a electric charge?
An electron has a negative electric charge.
What does a electron have?
Electron's have a negative charge, Protons have a positive charge.
Is the electron charge positive or negative?
The electron charge is negative.
