Can you run a java programme in atom processor?
no
How many electrons are in hygorgen?
There is one electron in a hydrogen atom.
What is an azaheterocycle?
An azaheterocycle is a heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom in the ring.
What happens when an electron is added to an atom it will acquire?
when an electron is added to an atom, the atom will acquire a negative charge.
Why do elements acquire positive charge on gaining electrons?
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
Is the net charge of an atom always zero?
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
What will happen if you acquire extra proton in one of your atoms?
The atom becomes an Cation (positively charged ion)
What are the nuclear change?
Nuclear change is the change in the nucleus of the atom.
How will electron configuration of the atom change when the atom becomes an ion?
how will the electron configuration of the atom change when the atom becomes an iron
What would cause scientist to change the current model of the atom?
they could discover a new atom and it would change
What do you get when you change the mass number of an atom?
You can't change the mass number of an atom because the mass number is the number of protons which is the atom's atomic number I hope this helped :)
What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
The loss or gain of electrons transform an atom in an ion.
Which particle does not change in amount in an atom?
The particle in an atom that cannot change is the number of protons. If that changes, it is no longer the same element.
Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's?
Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's nucleus, hence nuclear reaction.
How do the charges of atoms change when they become ions?
the growth of the atom slows down and when the process of change happends the atom will multiply
