Add or remove electrons.
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
in an atom, since the number of positively charged protons and the negatively charged electrons are always equal,loss of electon will make the atom positively charged.
Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.
A neutral atom has an equal balance of Protons and Electrons. Protons are positively charged whilst Electrons being opposites are negatively charged. To change a neutral atom to a positively-charged atom can be done by either removing an Electron from the atom, or by adding a Proton. Removing 1electron would make the number of Protons > number of Electrons by 1 making the charge on the neutral atom change to +1. Adding a Proton, the same effect occurs. To make a neutal atom negatively-charged simply do the reverse and make the Number of electrons > number of protons.
Positively charged particles in an atom are called protons. They are located in the nucleus of the atom and their positive charge balances the negative charge of electrons to keep the atom electrically neutral.
Protons (positive charged), neutrons (neutral) and electrons (negatively charged).
The electrons in an atom are negatively charged, the protons in an atom are positively charged and the neutrons of an atom are neutrally charged (they have no charge).Hope this Helps!
The protons in a nucleus make a given atom be positively charged.
It is called ion.Positively charged atom:- CationNegatively charged atom:- Anion
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
A proton has a charge of +1. Atoms are not charged because the positively charged protons are balanced by the negatively charged electrons.
