- An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.
- Hydrogen form the cation H+.
A: FalseB: True
C: No idea!
An item becomes positively or negatively charged through losing/gaining electrons. As electrons are lost the item becomes positive, and as electrons are gained the item becomes negative. (Electrons are negative charges and protons are positive charges.) An item cannot lose protons, as protons are fixed. Gaining/losing electrons can be gained by charging by friction, contact, or induction (through the air).
The number of protons plus the number of electrons isn't a recognized figure in chemistry. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons except when the element is an ion. An ionic compound results in one or more electrons moving from one element to another element. Although this is a simplification, it can be described as the atom gaining or losing electrons. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons is the atomic weight of an element.
This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
Atoms balance out their charges by having the same amount of protons as electrons. Since protons are positive, and electrons are negative, losing an electron increases the positive charge of an atom. This makes it an ANION. If an atom were to gain an electron, it would make it a CATION.
Carbonic acid can lose 2 protons (hydrogen ions). After losing the first, a hydrogen ion and a bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion are produced. When the bicarbonate ion is further ionized, another hydrogen ion as well as a carbonate ion are produced.

Positively charged ions are formed by losing electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. If an atom loses an electron, it then contains one more proton than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge, the atom becomes an ion with a 1+ charge.

When metals form ions, they tend to do so by losing their electrons to gain a positive charge. Losing negatively charged electrons causes the metals to become more positive due to having more protons.
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
it stays the same because you arent losing any protons or electrons
This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
Both are originally have equal electrons and protons. After rubbing, electrons move to the duster, from the rod. The duster, as it gains electrons, has more electrons than protons, therefore becoming negatively charged. The rod, losing electrons, becomes negatively charged. then, the rod is able to momentarily pick up little bits of paper for short periods at a time.
Atoms balance out their charges by having the same amount of protons as electrons. Since protons are positive, and electrons are negative, losing an electron increases the positive charge of an atom. This makes it an ANION. If an atom were to gain an electron, it would make it a CATION.
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
it loses electron(s). electrons are negatively changed and protons are positively charged so when an atom has no charge it means it has the same number of electrons as protons, however, sometimes there is more protons that electrons or more electrons than protons. this creates an inbalence in the charges causeing them to be positive or negative ions (the term for a postitive ion is "cation" and a negative ion is a "anion"). so, in short, an atom gets a positive charge when its number of protons is greater than its number of electrons... but remember this is ALWAYS based off of losing ELECTRON(s)- the number of protons never change or else it would become an entirely different element
because the electrons and protons are equal.
