What is an element with a charge?
an ion: a cation if it is positively charged; an anion if it is negatively charged
What is a example of a cation?
Mg^2+, Na^+. Any positively charged ion.
Is electron positively or negatively charged?
Electrons are negatively charged. Each atom has at leastone electron, depending upon which element it is. Furthermore, protons are positively charged and determine the identity of the element. Neutrons are neutrally charged.
What happens to an element if it becomes a cation?
Cations are formed when elements lose electrons. Then they get positively charged.
The number of positively charged protons in an atoms nucleus depends on?
The number of positively charged protons in an atom's nucleus depends on the atomic number of the element. Each element has a specific number of protons in its nucleus which determines its unique identity.
What is the positively charged atom that is released in the disinegration of a radioactive element?
The positively charged atom that is released in the disintegration of a radioactive element is called an alpha particle. It consists of two protons and two neutrons, giving it a positive charge.
Is nh4 a element or a compound?
NH4 in neither element nor compound. It is positively charged polyatomic cation. It is actually NH4+.
The number of positively charged particles in atoms of a given element?
The number of positively charged particles in atoms of a given element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This number is referred to as the atomic number of the element and it determines the element's identity on the periodic table.
What do you call an element that has lost an electron?
Elements that have gained or lost an electrons are called IONS. Ones that gained electrons (non-metals) and are therefore negatively charged, and known as ANIONS, and those that lost electrons (metals), are positively charged and known as CATIONS
What element has 7 protons 8 neutrons 7 electrons?
A positively charged ion of oxygen
What is an example of an element's name that is a cation?
a cation is a positvely charged atom, and if an element is positive, then you add "ion" to the end of the element. for example, sodium becomes sodium ion or Na1+ A Cation is a positive ion, that is, one that has fewer than four valence electrons. Some examples of elements that form cations are: * Lithium (Li) * Beryllium (Be) * Boron (B) * Sodium (Na) * Magnesium (Mg) * Aluminum (Al) * Potassium (K) * Calcium (Ca)
What is a substance when electrons are taken away from it?
Removing electrons from an atom of any element cause it to become a positively charged ion of that element.
