The goal of valence for an atom is?
the goal of valence electrons is to provide stability to their respective atom.
In an atom is the charges of the electrons being cancelled by the charges of the protons?
yes
What is an atom with charges?
It is called an ion.
Which charges in an atom are more free to move about?
The electrons of an atom can note freely around an atom.
Where are the electrical charges in an atom located?
The positive charges in an atom, which are derived from the positively charged protons, are located in the nucleus of an atom. The electrons, which form up in the electron cloud, are what gives this structure its negative charge.
What are atoms respective charges?
The nucleolus of an atom is positively charged while it's "shell" (the electron cloud surrounding the protons) are negatively charged.
Their respective charges are?
Positive, negative, neutral
3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
How does an atom become electrically charged?
The atom gets negative charges and positive charges from other things.
The goal of valence for an atom is?
the goal of valence electrons is to provide stability to their respective atom.
Why do electric charges flow from one atom to another?
explain why electrial charges flow from one atom to another
What are the charges of the atom?
The charges of an atom are, protons are positive (+). Neutrons has a neutral charge or no charge(0) and electrons have a negative charge (-).
Are charges balanced in an atom?
A balanced atom is an atom that has it's outer energy level (AKA shell) completely filled in with 8 valence electrons.
In an atom is the charges of the electrons being cancelled by the charges of the protons?
yes
What is an atom with charges?
It is called an ion.
Which charges in an atom are more free to move about?
The electrons of an atom can note freely around an atom.
What contains electrical charges in atom?
Electrons contain negative charges, and protons contain positive charges.
