Early scientists have discovered the negatively charged particles and the positively charged. The atom is neutral because of the presence of equal amounts of both the charges which cancel each other

The force of attraction binding oppositely charged ions together?

There are a few ways to calculate this, but for two point charges, such as two oppositely charged atoms the easiest way is to use Coulomb's law:where:F = the force of attractionq_1 = the charge of object 1q_2 = the charge of object 2r = the distance between the center of object 1 and object2ε0 ≈ 8.854187817... × 10−12 F·m−1For two oppositely charged atoms you must know what the charge of the each atom is to complete the calculation. For this calculation I'll assume that object 1 has one more electron than a neutrally charged atom ( has a charge of 1 e-), and object two has one fewer electron than a neutrally charged atom (has a charge of e+)e = 1.602176487 x 10-19 coulombsSo if we fill everything into Coulomb's equation we can get the force of attraction between two oppositely charged atoms,


What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?

When atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged, they form ions. Positively charged ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions.


How does an ionic bond between two ore more atoms?

An ionic bond is formed when one atom donates electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other, creating a strong electrostatic bond between the atoms.


The term Rutherford gave to the positively charged particles in the nucleus of atoms was?

You should know this...Protons. Next time, just think about the question! (:


What did Rutherford infer as a result of his observations?

Rutherford Discovered Many key factors of the atom. Especially about Protons and Electrons. He Did Not Know about neutrons. He Concluded That The atoms electron cloud was positive and electron floated around it like chocolate chips in a cookie.


The first scientist to show that atoms emit tiny negative particles was?

J.J. Thomson, in 1897, was the first scientist to show that atoms emit tiny negative particles, which we now know as electrons. This discovery led to the development of the plum pudding model of the atom.


Some forces push two atoms apart while other forces pull them together Which two subatomic particles would cause atoms to be pushed apart and which particles would cause atoms to be pulled together?

Protons and electrons are the two subatomic particles that cause atoms to be pushed apart due to their like charges repelling each other. Neutrons do not have a charge and do not contribute to the electrostatic forces between atoms. The attraction between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons around the nucleus causes atoms to be pulled together.

Where are atom located?

Everywhere around you. The crust of the earth and all things on it are pretty much atoms of one kind or another. Matter as we know it is generally made up of atoms. Atoms are the building blocks of molecules. We are atoms. Certainly there aren't atoms as we know them in stars because they are too hot. Matter there there exists as plasma. And in space where gas and charged particles swirl and eddy, atoms are not the norm. But 'round these parts, we can't help but find them.
