Does the movement of electrons to atoms or from atoms make ions?
Yes. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
How can an object be charged?
a negatively charged repels a positivley charged object
What is the only particle in a atom that is able to move from one atom to another?
Electrons can move from one atom to another during the formation of an ionic bond. In ionic bonding, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion.
What are the raw materials for oxidation?
Well, you generally need some atoms, which will have some electrons obviously. The movement of the electrons generally relates to a change in oxidation state, and hence the chemical process of oxidation (and reduction) has occurred.
What two substances control the movement of materials into and out of cell?
Some of the proteins and lipids do control movement of materials into and out of the cell.
Does the movement of electrons to atoms or from atoms make ions?
Yes. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
What happen to the movement of electrons if you ground a possitively charged object?
Electrons would flow from the ground, into the positively charged object.
What is the meaning of the word electrical?
an object which participates in a process which uses the movement of electrons (negatively charged particles) to transfer energy eg. a wire or plug or an object which receives its energy from the movement of electrons eg. a lightbulb
What atomic particle responsible for creating chemical bonds?
There are two, the positively charged protons in the nucleus of atoms and the negatively charged electrons that form a cloud round the nucleus. A chemical bond forms when electron move from one atom to another or become shared between atoms. This movement of electrons causes an electrical charge imbalance (one atom becomes positively charged and the other negatively charged) and the two atoms become bonded one to the other to balance out the charge difference.
How can an object be charged?
a negatively charged repels a positivley charged object
What was niel Bohr's model?
Bohr's model describes an atom as small, with a positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus
What is the only particle in a atom that is able to move from one atom to another?
Electrons can move from one atom to another during the formation of an ionic bond. In ionic bonding, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion.
What is a phrase meaning the Movement of electrons?
The movement of electrons is electrical energy.
When asked what causes electrolyte solutions to conduct electricity a student responds that it is due to the movement of electrons through the solution Is the student correct?
NO!!! The ions move through the solution. The ions migrate to their oppositely charged electrodes. Whereupon the ions and the given metal of the electrode 'swop' electrons. The electrons the move through the circulating wire to the other electrode as electricity. A positively charged ion will move to the negative electrode. Whereupon, electron(s) combine to the ion , which is deposited on the electrode. The electrode will gain mass. A negatively charged ion will move to the positively charged electrode. Whereupon it loses its electron into the electrode. which flows from the electrode through the wire to the other electrode. to complete the circuit.
Which type of energy requires the movement of electrons?
Electric energy requires the movement of electrons.
What occurs when there is a transfer of electrons?
The transfer of electrons is the movement of electrons from one atom to another atom. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion. An electrostatic bond occurs between the oppositely charged ions, and this is called an ionic bond.
