What is the number of electrons for copper positive 1 ion?
The number of electrons for copper positive 1 ion is 28.
How do you determine if an atom is an ion?
By the number of electrons.
What do you call an atom where the number of electrons is different from the number of protons?
An ion. If electrons are in excess over proton then it is negative ion. And if less then positive ion
When the proton number and electron number are unequal the atom or molecule what?
has a charge which can be positive (excess protons) or negative (excess electrons). ... becomes an ion - positive ion if deficient in electrons, negative with an excess of electrons.
How many electrons are in the uni-positive ion of sodium?
There are less electrons than protons in a positive ion. More information is needed to determine the exact number. Here is an example: How many electrons are in a carbon ion with a positive charge of positive 2e? There are 6 protons in carbon (since it is element number 6). Since it has a charge of +2, there will be 2 less electrons than protons, so the number of electrons would be 4.
Is it true that to find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion you should add the ion charge to the total number of valence electrons of the atoms present?
yes
What is an ion with more electrons than protons?
When an ion has more electrons than protons in it, the whole ion (charged particle) is negatively charged. The number of negative charges (electrons) exceeds the number of positive charges (protons).
How do you tell if an ion is positive or negative from a diagram?
By seeing how many protons to electrons there are. More protons, the Ion is positive. More electrons, the Ion is negative.
What is the essential difference between an ion and an atom?
An ion is an atom that has a different number of electrons than normal. That makes it positively or negatively charged. Normally, atoms have the same number of electrons as they have protons. If the atom has lost one of more electrons, it will be a positive ion. If it has gained one or more electrons, it will be a negative ion.
What does it mean when you have a positive ion and a negative regarding electrons?
If an atom has equal number of protons and electrons it is neutral.If electrons are given out it has a possitive charge.If electrons are gained it has a negative charge.This way atoms become chemically stable.
What is the charge of an ion that gained electrons?
If the ion is positive, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion having one greater positive charge. (A +3 ion will be +4.) If the ion is negative, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion being one less negative than it was previously. (A -4 ion wil be -3. A -1 ion will be neutral and have a zero charge.)
How do you determine the number of electrons that an atom normally have?
by the atomic number which determines the number of protons. a stable atom will have an equal number of electrons as protons. if there are more or less, it is an ion
