Where there is the same number of proton's as electron's the charge on the atom is considered?
neutral
How will electron configuration of the atom change when the atom becomes an ion?
how will the electron configuration of the atom change when the atom becomes an iron
Is the mass of the electron the mass of the proton?
No, there are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but I don't think that they have the same mass. You're right, an electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton.
If you added a proton a neutron and an electron to an atom would the atom still be the same?
no
When an atom becomes more positive?
An atom contains 3 particles-protons(positive charges), neutrons(no charge), electrons(negative charge)...When an atom looses an electron, the proton number stays the same. As a result, the proton number exceeds the electron number. This gives rise 2 a positively charged atom(cation). On the contrary, when an atom gains an electron, the proton number remains the same. As a result, the the electron number exceeds the proton number which gives rise to the formation of a negatively charged atom(anion)....If u want more information, see me on facebook...Jeffery MixedRace Osei..
How is a hydrogen atom is different than a proton?
A hydrogen atom, H, is a proton (as nucleus) with one electron orbitting around it. A proton is just (the same as above) one proton, which lacks the electron: H+ .
What must be true about its number of electrons for an atom to be neutral?
The atom must have equal number of proton and electron to neutral.
What changes while the number of protons stays the same?
In an atom The number of proton and electron are same that's why the atom is electrically neutral if it completes its octate then it becomes noble configuration or neutral metal
How do the numbers of protons and electorns compare in a normal atom?
The atomic number, proton and electron are all the same amount in an element.
Why are electrons number the same as neutrons number?
They are NOT. The number of electrons and the number of neutrons are not linked at all - for instance, an atom of Hydrogen has one proton and one electron and NO neutrons.
What number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element will be equal to?
The amount of electrons is balanced by the same amount of protons in a neutral atom, such as for the neutral hydrogen atom; it has 1 proton and 1 electron.
What is the formula for atomic number?
atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons
