What else can I help you with?
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?
A net postive charge
Is sulfur a negative or positive ion?
Sulfur can exist in different oxidation states and form both negative (sulfide ion, S^2-) and positive ions (sulfate ion, SO4^2-).
Which diagram best represents the relationship between the diameter of a sodium atom and the diameter of a positive sodium ion?
A diagram showing the sodium atom as larger than the positive sodium ion would be representative since the positive ion has lost an electron, leading to a decrease in size due to the loss of electron-electron repulsion.
Is a proton different than a positive ion?
Yes it is different. Ion contain more protons.
Is a positive proton different than a positive ion?
A positive ion is a type of atom with less electrons than usual. A proton is a subatomic particle that makes up atoms.
Why the radius of an atom larger than the radius a positive ion formed from it?
The positive ion lost an electron.
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
When an atom has different amounts of protons and electrons it is called an?
An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.
Why does a positive ion bond with a negative ion?
To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
What if an atom has more protons than electrons?
it is a positive ion
A lithium ion is different than a lithium atom because it?
The Li ion is different from the atom because it has positive charge. (Lithium is group 1 element and these lose 1 electron to form for example :Li+ , Na+ etc)
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a?
the atom with a different number of electrons than protons called "Ion"
What is positive ion and negative ion in NACl?
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
