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
An atomic ion has 3 protons and 1 electron What is the charge of the ion?
The charge of the ion would be +2 because there are 3 protons (positive charge) and only 1 electron (negative charge). This results in a net charge of +2.
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 element has 2 electrons and a charge of negative 1?
The element with 2 electrons and a charge of -1 is helium. It typically has a charge of 0, but can gain an extra electron to have a -1 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 charge does 2 electrons have?
2 unbalanced electrons have a 2- charge on the molecule/atom
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.
Why does hydroxide have a negative charge?
Hydroxide (OH-) has a negative charge because it has gained an extra electron, giving it a net negative charge of -1. This extra electron is acquired when a hydrogen ion (H+) is donated to the hydroxide ion as part of a chemical reaction.
What are charges of the 3 subatomic particles?
For the particles in atoms: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
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.
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 is the symbol charge for alpha particle?
e- is the symbol for an electron, aka a beta particle. It has a unit negative charge.
