What a ion?
An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.
Are atom and amp molecule part of ion?
Molecules contain atoms.... atoms contain ions.
What is ion and molecule?
a molecule is more than one atom attached together, an ion is an atom/molecule where the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons in the nucleus
Why a hydrogen atom can become either an ion or a part of a molecule?
Hydrogen only has one proton ,so it can pass that one proton onto another element, making it part of a molecule. It can become an ion if it loses that proton, or gains that proton.
What is any charged atom or molecule?
ion
A molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion is called?
A molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion is called a ligand. Ligands can donate pairs of electrons to the central metal atom or ion, forming coordinate covalent bonds.
An ion an atom or molecule that?
Carries an electric charge
Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
Is Na atom ion or molecule?
A sodium (Na) atom is neither an ion nor a molecule. It is a single, neutral atom with 11 protons in its nucleus and 11 electrons orbiting around it. An ion is when an atom gains or loses electrons to become charged, and a molecule is a combination of atoms bonded together.
Is P3- a atom molecule or ion?
P(3-) is an anion.
What is a water molecule with an extra hydrogen atom called?
A water molecule with an extra hydrogen atom is called a hydronium ion (H3O+). This ion is formed when a water molecule gains a proton, becoming positively charged.
What is a molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion called?
This species is known as a ligand.
