How are electrically charged particles formed?
The basic charged particles are the proton (positive) and electron (negative). Normally the electrostatic force of attraction keeps them together within atoms and molecules, and in this state they are electrically neutral. Objects become charged when there is an excess or a shortage of electrons, produced for example by rubbing a dry cloth, or by the air currents in a thunder cloud.
The region where electrically charged ions are formed as a result of the absorption of solar energy is called the?
photoelectric effect
When the atom is neutral does the number of protons equals the number of electrons?
Most of the time yes, electron gain = makes it negative, electron loss = makes the atom positive -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In any atom, the no. of electrons and protons are equal. This is the reason which makes an atom electrically neutral. If electrons are added, then an anion is formed which is negatively charged. If electrons are lost, then a cation is formed which is positively charged.
How ions are formed?
Ions are formed when electrons are transferred among atoms (gained or lost). The charge is determined by the inequal number of protons and electrons. A negatively-charged atom (more electrons than protons) is called an "anion." A positively-charged atom (fewer electrons than protons) is called a "cation." The electrons are located outside the nucleus, while the protons are inside the nucleus. Thus electrons are the charged particles being transferred from one atom to another and not the protons.
What is a ion?
Ions are electrically charged particles. They form when an atom contains an unequal number of protons in the nucleus and electrons in the electron cloud. Of course, there should be neutrons in the nucleus too but that makes no difference since neutrons are neither -1e or +1e but are electrically neutral.Since protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, if there are more electrons than protons, the atom or molecule will be negatively charged. This is called an anion.Conversely, if there are more protons than electrons, the atom or molecule will be positively charged. This is called a cation. GOOD LUCK.

lithosphere

What layer in the atmosphere where charged solar particles are formed?
ionesphere

An Ionic compound is formed when?
Ionic compounds are formed when two oppositely charged particles are attracted to each other.
When charged particles from the sun hit oxygen and nitrogen atoms in air what is formed?
heat
How did J J Thomson show that cathode rays are different from light?
Thomson appreciated in 1897 that the cathode rays are formed from negative electrically charged very small particles. These particles are the electrons. From this Thomson concluded that the atom is not indivisible and also that the atom must contain and a positive charged particle.
How are ions made?
Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons. They have the same electronic structures as noble gases. Metal atoms form positive ions, while non-metal atoms form negativeions. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are called ionic bonds
How is the Aurora Australis formed?
The Aurora Australis in the southern hemisphere, (and Aurora Borealis in the northern hemisphere) are magnificent displays of coloured light. They result from collisions between electrically charged gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles from the sun that enter the atmosphere. Sunspot activity causes electrons and protons from the sun to be blown towards the earth on the solar wind. The different colours are caused by the different types of gas particles. The reason they occur more at the poles is that earth's magnetic field, which usually deflects the particles, is weaker there, allowing the particles to enter. Some particles are attracted by the magnetic poles due to the electromagnetic behaviour of charged particles, which causes the particles to be led down the lines of magnetic flux until they hit the atmosphere.
Is an ion neutral and does it therefore have no charge?
Yes they are. Negatively or positively charged particles called ions are formed when atoms form chemical bonds by gaining and losing electrons.
Particles formed from covalent bonding is?
They are molecules.No they are generally called molecules. However there are polyatomic ions that are charged molecules, such as SO42-
What are the charged particles that are formed when ionic bonds break?
The ionic elements are thus, as in the salt example here.NaClNa +=======A cation.Cl -======An anion
