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.
Why there is big gap between first and second ionization energies?
Ionization energies are the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom in the gaseous state, thereby giving the atom a positive charge and making it an ion. Ions get a +1 charge for each electron lost. It is this positive charge of the atom that makes the second ionization energy considerably greater than the first. Not only does the second electron have to overcome the initial attractive forces to nucleus, it must also overcome the extra +1 charge the atom has after the loss of the first electron, which simply takes more energy.
How do you remove an electron from an atom?
You dont remove an electron from an atom. Its kept there by the bonds of the atom. However, you can split an atom from an atom.
How does the size of the atom affect the energy needed to remove an electron?
As the size of an atom increases, the energy needed to remove an electron decreases. As the size of an atom increases, the atomic radius increases: the distance between the nucleus and the outer electron shell becomes greater. This means that the positive nuclear charge has less of an effect on the negatively charged electron, so the attractive force between the nucleus and the electron is weaker. Less energy is required to overcome the weaker force.
What is second ionization energy of hydrogen?
hydrogen has only one electron so after you remove that electron you do not have any electrons left to remove so hydrogen doesn't have a 2nd ionization energy. hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron.
If you were to remove an electron from this sodium(Na)atomwhat would be the electrical charge of the ion?
+ (positive)
How do you charge an atom?
remove either a proton or electron OR add a proton or electron...
What is the valance electron of lithium atom that is easily remove to form a lithium with a charge of 1?
the valence electron of lithium that is easily removed is the 1s2 electron
What kind of charge do you get when you remove an electron from an atom?
Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
Why does Be have a much larger second ionization energy than the first?
The energy to remove 1 electron is the first ionization energy. To remove a second electron requires more energy. This is because the electron being removed now has to overcome the +1 positive charge introduced after the 1st electron was removed.
Why the electrons have only negative charge why not positive charge?
There is a real force associated with the electron. This little guy has a "force field" standing around it at all times. All day, every day. It cannot be made to go away. This field of force has been given the name "electric" and it is an electric (force) field. We also give the designator "negative" to that field to identify its polarity. That's because the force field has "direction" associated with it. In sum, the electron has this field around it because it cannot "not" have it. The negative electric field of the electron is an intrinsic quality that cannot be separated from it. When an electron comes into existence, it appears with its negative charge, and that's what make it negative.
What is electron configuration of Mg plus?
The electron configuration of magnesium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2. Mg+ has one less electron (electrons have negative charge, so a positive charge is a lack of electrons) so you remove one from the outermost orbital: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1, or simply [Ne] 3s1.
What would you get if you took an electron away from an atom?
You would get a positive ion, because there will be one extra positive charge no longer offset by the negative charge of that electron. You cannot take away a proton without changing the element, but you can add or remove valence electrons.
What is the relationship between ionization energy and the halogens?
The further you are down the halogen group (group 7) the lower the 1st ionisation energy (amount of energy required to remove 1 electron from the atom) is. This is because the electron in question becomes further from the positive charge of the nucleus the more electron shells there are, and electron shielding (the blocking of the effect of the positive charge's attraction) is increased.

How does the nucleus hold the remaining electrons after one has been removed?
More tightly. There is an electrical attraction between the positively-charge nucleus and the negatively-charged electrons. By removing an electron, the same positive force is now working on one-fewer electrons, so it is stronger, and it takes more energy to remove the second, and even more to remove a third, and so on...
