How does an s2- ion differ from an electrically neutral sulfur atom?
All ions differ from an electrically neutral atom in that they are missing or have gained one or more electrons. A S2- atom has 2 less electrons than a neutral atom.
Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
Is boron a neutral atom or an ion?
I think it is neutral
How many electons does sulfur have?
A neutral atom of sulfur has 16 electrons.
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
neutral atom
How does an s2- ion differ from an electrically neutral sulfur atom?
All ions differ from an electrically neutral atom in that they are missing or have gained one or more electrons. A S2- atom has 2 less electrons than a neutral atom.
How many protons are in the nucleus of sulfur (S)?
There are 16 protons in an atom of sulfur. All isotopes and ions of the same elements will have the same number of protons regardless of the difference in the number of neutrons or electrons. So the information about the atom being "neutral" is unnecessary.
Is sulfur an atom or An ion?
ion
Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion?
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
How do you convert a neutral sulfur atom to an anion carrying a charge of -2?
An Anion is a negatively charged ion. Adding two electrons to a neutral atom(electrons and protons are equal) will cause it to have a charge of -2.
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes a sulfide ion?
A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
Is boron a neutral atom or an ion?
I think it is neutral
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
How many chargesin a sulfur ion?
The most common ion formed from a single sulfur atom is a sulfide ion, with a charge of -2.
