you would add the appropiate number of positive atoms to balence out the atom. for example if an atom has a charge of -5 you would add 5 positvly charged atoms to make the overall charge 0. that will make it a neutral atom.
I think..
If the ion was made with an acid, you neutralize it with a base of the same strength.
It the ion was made with a base, you neutralize it with an acid of the same strength.
You'll know what acid/base to use if you can find a chart showing source acid/base used to make the ion.
That depends on what element it's an atom of. In a neutral atom of Hydrogen . . . 1 In a neutral atom of Uranium . . . 92 In a neutral atom of any other naturally occuring element . . . between 2 and 91.
The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons. Neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge so the nucleus is positively charged. Around the nucleus there are orbiting electrons which are negatively charged. The positive nucleus and the negative electrons make the overall charge of the atom neutral
if you are using magnets, they stick together.
An atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Thus, the charge is neutral. An ion is a charged atom, which means it has a charge of some type (positive or negative). If a lithium atom (3 protons and 3 electrons) gains two electrons, it will become an ion with a charge of 2-. If it loses 3 electrons, it will become an ion with a charge of 3+
the nucleus of an atom that contains the positively charged protons and the neutral neutrons
An atom can be neutral or electrically charged (anion-negative charge, cation-posititve charge); the electrons are negative charged elementary particles.
since electrons are negative, you would subtract one from the original charge of the atom. For example, is the atom was neutral, the charge would then be 1-
The nucleus of an atom contains the neutral neutrons and the positive protons. Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.
Yes, by example:iodide ion and iodine molecule to form a complex ion:I- + I2 --> I3-
A neutal atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of an electron.
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
The overall charge of the atom is neutral. The nucleus contains neutrons (neutral) and protons (positive) making it positive. There are electrons (negative) outside the nucleus, so the positive nucleus and the negative electrons make the overall charge neutral.
No.... an atom is not an ion.... ions have a positive or negative charge... Atoms are neutral
Atoms are neutral. Ions can be charged, either positive or negative.
Well seeing as how neutral atom is meaning neither a positive or a negative charge and a proton is positively charged an electron is negatively charged If you had 2 electrons the balance would kinda be disrupted wouldn't it? Because then your nuetral atom would in fact be negative.
the no of positive charges are equal to negative charges (protons = electrons) in any neutral atom.
