What is the process called that changes a neutral atom into an electrically charged atom?
Ionization. An electrically charged atom is called an ion. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged atoms are called anions.
What is an atom or group of atoms that become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
When do atoms become electrically charged?
A neutral atom, in order to be neutral, has the same number of protons and electrons. If the atom gains or loses an electron, or more than one, it will become electrically charged.
What is a word for an electrically charged atom?
An ion is a word for an electrically charged atom. Ions can be positively charged (cations) or negatively charged (anions) depending on whether they have lost or gained electrons.
What is an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically changed?
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
When is an atom electrically charged?
a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
What is an atom that is electrically charged?
An ion
How can you tell if an atom is electrically charged?
atoms r electrically charged cuz it has same no of positive charges ands negative charges. so atom is electrically nuetral.
When an atom loses an electron the atom becomes?
The loss of an electron would cause an overall electrically neutral atom to become a positively charged ion.
When an atom gains an electron it what?
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
Is the magnesium atom electrically neutral or electrically charged?
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral. It has 12 protons in the nucleus, which are positively charged, and 12 electrons surrounding the nucleus, which are negatively charged. The positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
When the atom loses an electron it becomes what?
The loss of an electron would cause an overall electrically neutral atom to become a positively charged ion.
