How does the balance of protons and electrons determone whether an atom is electrically charged?
If the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons, the atom is Neutral (the +'s and the -'s cancel out, leaving no net charge). If there are more electrons than protons, then the atom is negatively charged. If there are more protons than electrons, then the atom is positively charged. A Helium atom has 2 protons and 2 electrons: ++ --: No net charge: Neutral. A Chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons: 17+ 18 -: Net charge -1: Negative (anion). A Sodium ion has 11 protons and 10 elections: 11+ 10-: Net charge +1: Positive (cation.
Can you determine whether the atoms are the same element with out looking at the nuclei?
To a certain extent yes. In a balanced element the number of electrons match the number of protons in the core of the element. If electrons have been added or removed (as in an ion) then you would need to know the exact number added/removed, or rebalance the element, in order to determine the specific element.
How is a atom different from an ion?
atoms have neutral or no charge. ions have a charge whether positive or negative and have either more protons than neutrons and vice versa.An atom has an equal amount of Electrons and Protons, but an ion is a particle with an uneven amount of Protons and Electrons. A Cation, having more Protons than Electrons and an Anion, having more Electrons than Protons.
How many electrons can an atom contain?
That depends on the number of protons. It also depends whether the atom has gained or lost electrons to form an ion. Carbon is element number 6; it has 6 protons and 6 electrons. Lead is element number 82; it has 82 protons and 82 electrons.
How do you write the charge of an ion?
find the difference between the number of electrons and protons, and then find whether protons(+) or electrons(-) are more abundant. if the difference was 2, for example, and there were (2) more protons than electrons, the charge would be written as: chemical symbol 2+
Why do atoms have a neutral charge?
It is because there is an equal amount of positive and negative charge to produce a neutral charge. Just the presence of neutrons does not make the atom neutral. An atom will lose its neutral charge if it loses or gains electrons and becomes an ion
Is a charge particle because it has more or fewer electrons than protons?
The number of electrons that surround the nucleus will determine whether or not an atom is electrically charged or electrically neutral. The amount of charge on a single proton is equal to the amount of charge possessed by a single electron. A proton and an electron have an equal amount but an opposite type of charge. Thus, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral. On the other hand, if an atom has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the atom is electrically charged (and in fact, is then referred to as an ion rather than an atom). Any particle, whether an atom, molecule or ion, that contains less electrons than protons is said to be positively charged. Conversely, any particle that contains more electrons than protons is said to be negatively charged.
How many neutrons and protons make up a charged atom?
Neutrons are 'zero' charged. Protons are positively(+) charged. Electrons are negatively(-) charged. For any neutrally charged atom , the number of protons(+) equals the number of electrons(-); the charges balance. However, when an atom loses or gains electrons it becomes a charged species and is called an ION , not an atom. If the number of protons changes then it is a completely different element. Neutrons have no effect on the charge of an atom/ion, they only effect the atomic mass. Here are some examples. Hydrogen has one proton and one electrons ; charges balance. However the hydrogen ion has one proton and no electrons (H^+) Chlorine has two isotopes l different number of neutrons Chlorine - 35 , 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-35) ion has 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 18 electrons (35)Cl^-) , the chloride -35 ion Chlorine - 37, 17 protons , 20 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons , 20 neutrons, and 18 electrons (37)Cl^-) , the chloride - 37 ion. The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons, 20 neutrons and 18 electrons Notice , for the given element the number of protons remains the same, the different isotopes have different number of neutrons, and the ions have a different number of electrons.
Why is the smallest particle of iron an atom?
It is an atoms chemical properties that determine whether it is iron or manganese or aluminium. These properties are (to a first approximation) controlled by the number of electrons in the outermost shell.A single atom is the smallest unit that has the chemical properties.Anything smaller is electrons or protons, or neutrons ... .
How many protons and electrons does a chloride ion have?
Protons = 17, electrons = 18There are two isotopes differing in neutron number only :Cl-35 (75%) having 35-17= 18 neutronsCl-37 (25%) having 37-17= 20 neutrons
Does the movement of proton causes static electricity?
No. Static energy is present, whether charges (such as protons, or electrons) move, or not.
What is lonicity?
Ionicity refers to whether a chemical is an ion or not. An ion is a molecule whose total number of protons do not equal the total number of electrons. There are two kinds of ions: -An "anion" is an ion that contains more electrons than protons. It has a negative charge. -A "cation" is an ion that contains more protons than electrons. This has a positive charge.
