What is an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically changed?
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
What are their respective charges of a atom?
Electrically charged atoms are called ions: positive charge - cations, negative charge - anions.
Are ions electrically neutral or do they have a charge Explain?
a charged group of two or more nonmedal atoms is called a?
What are atoms electrically neutral?
if an atom is electrically neutral it has twice as many nuetrons as it does protons and electrons.
What is the atoms electrical charge?
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
Does helium of a charge?
Helium atom has no charge as all atoms are electrically neutral. But the nuclear charge of helium is 2 as it has 2 protons in its nucleus.
Do electrically neutral atoms have the same number of electrons and proton?
Yes, surely the same + and - charge
Why don't atoms carry net charge?
The total positive charge of the nucleus is cancelled by the negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus. Hence atoms are electrically neutral
What is an atom or group of atoms what has become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What is a neutrons and what they carrie a negative char?
Neutrons are particles that are found mainly in the nucleus of atoms. They don't have a negative charge - they are electrically neutral (no charge).
What is an electrically neutral particle in the nucleus?
They are called neutrons.They do not have a charge.
Atom group of atoms that has become electrically charge?
Atoms become electrically charge when they reacting to one another. The two groups of charged atoms are cations (positively charged) and anions (negatively charged), and all together these types of atoms are called ions. The ability to become electrically charge depends on their electronegativity values and ionization energies. Electronegativity refers to an atom's "pull" on electrons, meaning that the more electronegative an atom is the harder it will "pull" on electrons from other atoms. The more electronegative atoms (typically the anions) reside on the far right side of the periodic table. Ionization energy refers to the energy needed to pluck an electron from an atom. Atoms with the lower energy typically have lower electronegativity values, making them cations (which are to the left of the periodic table).
