What is the charge on atom if it gains electrons?
Depends on how many electrons it gains. For every electron it gains, the atom becomes more negative. One electron gives it a -1 charge, 2 a -2 charge and so on
What is a charge atom that has gained one or more electrons?
An atom that gains an electron because negatively charge by one unit of elementary charge (1.602X10-19 coulombs) like F- as an atom that gains 2 electron will have 2 negative elementary charge
What is the charge of an element if it loses an electron?
It depends on the charge on the atom at the start before it gains an electron. The electron has a charge of -1, and will make an atom more negative or less positive (both of which are the same thing). Let's look at the possibilities. If an atom is neutral (zero net charge) and gains an electron, it has a net charge of -1. If an atom is at +1 and gains an electron, it has a net charge of zero. If an atom has any positive charge, p, above +1, it has a net charge of p - 1. (A +5 would become a +4, and a +3 would become a +2.) If an atom has any negative charge, n, then its net charge becomes n - 1. (A -4 would become a -5, and a -2 would become a -3.)
What are charges of the 3 subatomic particles?
For the particles in atoms: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
What are the differences between electrons and electron-neutrinos?
1. Electron is a particle with negative charge, component of all atoms. 2. Electron neutrino is associated with the production of electrons; electron neutrino has not an electrical charge.
What is the charge for 12 electrons and 11 Protons?
Plus 9, zero, minus 9 respectively.
What is the net charge if an atom has 8 protons and 6 electrons?
+2. It is called a cation because it has a positive charge. A proton has a positive charge and an electron has a negative charge. A neutron has no charge.
What happens when an atom becomes an ion with a two negative charge?
A negative ion, aka an anion, has a negative charge because it acquired electrons from another now-ion that is positive. An atom because an ion to fill its valence electron shell to the most it can (eight).
Did Ca plus plus gain an electron to produce the charge?
Ca2+ is positively charged. Remember that an electron is a particle with negative charge; therefore, the element Calcium (Ca) has LOST 2 electrons in order to be positive 2.
What charge would a sulfur ion have?
its has 2 electron, therefore 2-
What is the symbol charge for alpha particle?
e- is the symbol for an electron, aka a beta particle. It has a unit negative charge.
How is the ion of sulfur formed?
sulfur has 16 electrons with a neutral charge the most common ion formed is the sulfide ion, with a negative 2 charge to get a negative 2 charge, it gains 2 electrons, thus fulfilling the octet rule and acquiring the electron configuration of argon
