The two bonded fluorine atoms form a neutral particle called a what?
fluorine molecule
What is an electrically neutral particle in the nucleus?
They are called neutrons.They do not have a charge.
Nucleon is electrically neutral it is called?
A nucleon is one of the particles that make up the nucleus of the atom. Protons and neutrons are nucleons, and the neutronis the electrically neutral nucleon.
Do neutron have electric charge?
No. That's why it is called "neutron" - this is derived from [electrically] neutral.
What is the process called that changes a neutral atom into an electrically charged atom?
Ionization. An electrically charged atom is called an ion. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged atoms are called anions.
What objects with equal amounts of positive and negative charge are said to be electrically?
An object with equal amounts of positive and negative charge is electrically neutral.
What is an electrically neutral particle composed of two or more atoms chemically combined called?
An ion.
Why are atoms said to be electricly neutral?
Atoms are built form 3 types of particles Electrons (which are electrically negative) Neutrons (which are electrically neutral) Protons (which are electrically positive) Nature likes things to be balanced so when atoms are put together, nature makes sure that the number of Electron the atom has is matched by the number of Protons. This makes all atoms electrically neutral. However, when atoms react with each other chemically, they can share or swap electrons with each other which means that they are no longer electrically neutral (in this state they are called "ions"). Nature therefore requires that the stuff they have made (called a compound) when joining together is, overall electrically neutral and bonds them together so that this is achieved. This is why chemical compounds exist and are stable.
Atoms are electrically what?
Neutral? The core is positive, electrons are negative, and in many cases the result is neutral. It doesn't have to be, but if it isn't they are usually called ions, instead.
Are ions electrically neutral or do they have a charge Explain?
a charged group of two or more nonmedal atoms is called a?
Why neutron is call neutron?
The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix
Is it true that if an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons the rentire atomis electrically neutral?
Yes, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral. If an atom has a different amount of protons and electrons it is electrically charged, and is called an ion, rather than an atom.
