What else can I help you with?
How does the negative ion different from an uncharged atom of the same element?
the ion has a greater number of electrons
Is the number of protons the same in the atom or ion of lithium?
Yes, the number of protons in an atom and its ion of lithium is the same. Lithium always has 3 protons in its nucleus, regardless of whether it is in its neutral atom form (Li) or as an ion with a different number of electrons.
What is the name of an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons?
Ion
Does a ion have the same electrons has a non-ionic atom?
No, an ion has gained or lost electrons, so it will have a different number of electrons compared to the non-ionic atom of the same element.
Having the same number or protons but different number of electrons?
This relationship is for an atom and its ion.
What are atoms of the same element with different numbers of electrons?
Usually, an atom has the same number of protons as electrons, but when the number of electrons is changed, the atom is considered ionic. An atom that has lost an electron is called an anion, and an atom that has gained an electron is called a cation. One example of a cation is a potassium ion, or K+, and one example of an anion is chloride,(a chlorine ion) or Cl-
How can you tell if an atom is an ion?
If the number of protons and neutrons are the same, its an atom, if not its an ion
What is an example of an atom of an element has properties that are very different from those of an ion of the same element?
An example of an atom with properties different from an ion of the same element would be fluorine. Fluorine in its atomic form (F) is a highly reactive gas, while an ion of fluorine (F-) is a stable, non-reactive anion. This is due to the difference in the number of electrons in each state, affecting their reactivity.
What number can be different and allow the atom to still be the same element?
the number of electrons can be different; it makes the element become an ion.
What do an atom ion and isotope of an ion have in common?
they all have the same element with the same number
What do you call an element that has the same type of atom but different atomic mass?
Mabye an ion. I studied that but I think it is an ion. I am not sure. Sorry. Mabye an ion. I studied that but I think it is an ion. I am not sure. Sorry.
What is the essential difference between an ion and an atom?
An ion is an atom that has a different number of electrons than normal. That makes it positively or negatively charged. Normally, atoms have the same number of electrons as they have protons. If the atom has lost one of more electrons, it will be a positive ion. If it has gained one or more electrons, it will be a negative ion.
