What is the number of electrons for copper positive 1 ion?
The number of electrons for copper positive 1 ion is 28.
The removal of an electron results to what charge?
+1. Because an atom normally has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is neutral. By removing a negative (the electron), the atom is then positive. The more electrons you remove, the more positive the atom becomes. Then, it is called an ion, such as Cu is copper, but Cu2+ is a copper(II) ion; it is a copper atom that has lost two electrons.
What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains two electrons?
Copper loss electrons.
Is copper positively charged or negatively charged?
A copper ions has a positive charge, most commonly 2+.
What is the charge of copper if it gains three electrons?
Assuming the copper started at ground state, after gaining 3 electrons, it would have a charge of -3.
What is the electron configuration of a neutral copper atom?
because it has equal numbers of protons and electrons

What is the predominant carrier of electrical charge in a copper wire?
Electrons are the predominant carriers of charge in copper wire.
Charges for protons neutrons and electrons for copper?
the protons have a +1 charge, the neutrons zero charge and the electrons -1 charge
Why is zinc negative amd copper positive?
Zinc is more electronegative than copper. As a result, zinc acts as the anion(anode), while copper loses electrons and becomes positive (cathode). Electrons flow from the zinc to the copper ( - to +)
Explain how copper atoms are converted into copper plus ions in a mass spectrometer?
An electron beam is shot at the Cu atoms, from an electron gun, this knocks out electrons meaning the overall charge of the atom becomes positive as negative electrons have been lost.
What happens in an ionic bond between copper and oxygen?
Copper atoms lose one or two electrons when forming an ionic bond with oxygen. The oxygen atoms gain the electrons released from the copper atoms when forming an ionic bond with copper. The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions forms the ionic bond. Copper can form two different ions, copper(I) and copper(II). Copper(I) ions have a charge of 1+ (Cu+) and copper(II) ions have a charge of 2+ (Cu2+). Oxide ions have a charge of 2+ (O2-). Copper(I) oxide has a formula unit of Cu2O. Copper(II) oxide has a formula unit of CuO.
Why do zinc and copper work well together to generate energy?
Well it's just that the Copper is a positive charge and Zinc is a negative charge it's just like a battery it ha a positive charge and it has a negative charge.
