What else can I help you with?
An atom that has plus 1 charge must have fewer what than usual?
Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.
Does the Ca plus 2 ion have more electrons than the Ca atom?
No, the calcium ion Ca+2 has fewer electrons than the neutral calcium atom. The calcium atom has 20 electrons, while the Ca+2 ion has 18 electrons because it has lost two electrons to become positively charged.
What is an atom that has more of fewer electrons than protrons?
Such an atom has a net electric charge, and is known as an ion.
An atom contains fewer electrons than protons has as negative ionic charge?
Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.
Indicates the number of protons and electrons for this atom or ion.?
To determine the number of protons and electrons for an atom or ion, you need the atomic number and the charge. The atomic number indicates the number of protons, while the charge tells you how many electrons are present. For a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. However, if the ion has a positive charge, it has fewer electrons than protons, and if it has a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons.
What element has more valance electrons than oxygen fewer valance electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer prtons than argon?
The element that fits these criteria is sulfur. Sulfur has 6 valence electrons (more than oxygen with 6, fewer than neon with 8), 16 protons (more than sodium with 11, fewer than argon with 18).
An atom that has plus 1 charge must have fewer what than usual?
Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.
An atom with a positive charge is called a?
It is a Cation, an ion with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge
Does the Ca plus 2 ion have more electrons than the Ca atom?
No, the calcium ion Ca+2 has fewer electrons than the neutral calcium atom. The calcium atom has 20 electrons, while the Ca+2 ion has 18 electrons because it has lost two electrons to become positively charged.
A magnesium ion differs from a magnesium atom because 1. two fewer neutrons. 2. one fewer electron. 3. one more electron. 4. two fewer electrons.?
A magnesium ion differs from a magnesium atom because it has two fewer electrons. When a magnesium atom loses two electrons, it forms a magnesium ion with a 2+ charge.
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
What is an atom that has more of fewer electrons than protrons?
Such an atom has a net electric charge, and is known as an ion.
An atom contains fewer electrons than protons has as negative ionic charge?

The fewer electron shells the shielding of electrons from the nucleus.?
less
If an atom has 15 protons 17 neutrons and 11 electrons what is the atom's electrical charge?
The atom's electrical charge is +4. It has 15 protons and 11 electrons, so the overall charge is positive (15 - 11 = 4) because there are more protons than electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so having fewer electrons than protons results in a net positive charge.
Is Ca2 plus a cation?
Yes it is a cation which is an ion with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge.
What do we call an atom that has an overall positive charge?
An atom with an overall positive charge is called a cation. Cations are formed when an atom loses electrons, leaving it with fewer electrons than protons, resulting in a net positive charge.
