What charge would an oxygen atom with 10 electrons have?

An Oxygen atom would never contain 10 electrons on its own. It would have a maximum of 8 electrons at one time, unless the "oxygen atom" you are referring to is in fact an oxygen ION, in which case the charge would be -2. However, an oxygen ion can never be "by itself". It must be bonded with either itself as a diatomic or with another element as a compound.


What is it called when a atom gains electrons to become a negative ion?

This depends on whether the atom is by itself or whether it's part of a molecule (attached set of atoms). If it is by itself, after the atom gains (or loses) an electron it has an electrical charge. An atom with a charge is called an "ion" and you can say that it was "ionized." If it is in a molecule that has a chemical reaction with another molecule causing the atom in the first molecule to gain an electron, that process is called "reduction," and the atom that gained an electron is said to have been "reduced." If the atom lost an electron in the reaction, that is called "oxidation" and the the atom was "oxidized." (Note that "oxidation" in regular chemistry doesn't necessarily mean that oxygen was involved, even though it sounds that way.)


What are the characteristics of substances?

When an atom loses one electron it forms an ion. The atom becomes charged. It has more positive charges in its nucleus than negative electrons surrounding it, so the charge is positive, it has made a positive ion. The same happens when an atom gains an electron apart from the charge now becomes negative. Each atom always wants to become stable. The electron arrangement is 2,8,8,8... and so on. So for example sodiums atomic proton number is 11 and is set out like 2,8,1. It needs to loose 1 electron to become stable. Its ion is represented as Na+


What carries the negative charge on ferrocyanide?

Ferrocyanide carries the negative charge in the form of the ferrocyanide ion, which is [Fe(CN)6]4-. This ion consists of a central iron atom (Fe) surrounded by six cyanide ions (CN-) that act as ligands. The overall charge of the ion is negative, with the cyanide ions providing the negative charge.

How do you find the interval for a set of data?

You find the the smallest and largest values. The interval is the largest minus the smallest.


How do you find the maximum of a set of numbers?

The maximum of a set of numbers is the largest number in the set.

How many protons and electrons is in ion?

An ion is defined as an element with a charge. Because elements vary with how many protons they have (along with neutrons to form isotopes) it is impossible to put a set number on how many protons and electrons all ions have. An element (or compound) becomes an ion when the substance gains (to become a positive ion) or loses (to become a negative ion) an electron(s).


What is the progress of splitting atom?

First you need to find an extremely small ax and then an extremely small stump to set the atom on. The rest is easy.


How do you find he range of a set of data?

Find the smallest and the largest values/numbers. These form the range.


How do you find the range of a set of data?

Subtract the smallest number from the largest one.

How many electrons do atoms need to be neutral?

It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion) If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons. Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
