What else can I help you with?
Which atom is electrically neutral?
All atoms are electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses an electron, we call it an "ion" rather than an atom.
Where is the single electron in an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen located?
The single electron in a neutral hydrogen atom resides in the 1s orbital.
Why is proton equal to electron?
because an atom is electrically neutral.
In a atom is the electron number the same proton number?
Yes, provided the atom is electrically neutral.
Why number of electron are equal to the number of proton?
because an atom is electrically neutral
What is the neutral part of an atom that gives the atom more mass?
Neutron. It is electrically neutral, and coincidentally about as massive as a proton plus an electron.
How do you infer that an atom is electrically neutral or an ion by referring to its number of electrons?
if number of electron and protons are equal(except for H,as it has no proton,so it shoulh has one electron to be electrically neutral).
When an atom loses an electron the atom becomes?
The loss of an electron would cause an overall electrically neutral atom to become a positively charged ion.
When the atom loses an electron it becomes what?
The loss of an electron would cause an overall electrically neutral atom to become a positively charged ion.
When do atoms become electrically charged?
A neutral atom, in order to be neutral, has the same number of protons and electrons. If the atom gains or loses an electron, or more than one, it will become electrically charged.
How does the meaning of atom and ion differ?
An "Ion" is an atom that has gained or lost an electron and is therefore no longer electrically neutral.
Why is the atom electrically neutral?
it is neutral because there are the same numbers of protons and electrons in an atom so the positive charge of the proton balances out the negative charge of an electron
