Is Cl isoelectronic with a noble gas?
Not a neutral Cl atom but the chloride ion Cl- is isoelectronic with the noble gas argon.
Which atom is isoelectronic with sodium ion?
Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
What is the charge on an atom of magnesium?
The neutral atom of magnesium has no electrical charge; the ion is bivalent.
A magnesium atom is converted to a magnesium ion when the atom?
Loses two electrons.
Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion?
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
Is Cl isoelectronic with a noble gas?
Not a neutral Cl atom but the chloride ion Cl- is isoelectronic with the noble gas argon.
Which atom is isoelectronic with sodium ion?
Neon is isoelectronic with the sodium ion.
What is the charge on an atom of magnesium?
The neutral atom of magnesium has no electrical charge; the ion is bivalent.
Does a Mg2 plus ion have two more protons than an atom of Mg?
Absolutely not. Magnesium is magnesium, whether it's an ion or not. So it must have 12 protons. The number of electrons, however, is different. Neutral (non-ionic) magnesium has 12 electrons; the magnesium ion (Mg+2) has 10 electrons, which means it is isoelectronic with neon.
Are Cs and Xe ions isoelectronic?
The ion Cs+ is isoeletronic with the neutral atom of xenon (54 electrons).
What noble gas is isoelectronic with N?
The noble gas neon (Ne), is isoelectronic with N3- ion (not N atom)
Are sodium ion(Na )magnesium ion(Mg2 )aluminium ion(Al3 )neon(Ne)nitrogen ion(N3-) all isoelectronic species?
Ions as Na+, Mg2+, Al3+ and N3- are isoelectronic; neon is an inert gas.
If a sodium ion is isoelectronic with neon why is it still considered sodium?
The characterization of element for an atom or ion is determined solely by the number of protons in its nucleus, which remains the same in neutral atoms and in all ions of the element.
A magnesium atom is converted to a magnesium ion when the atom?
Loses two electrons.
Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion?
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
Is magnesium an ion or an atom?
Magnesium is an atom; but this atom can be transformed in an electrically charged atom - called cation, Mg2+.
