How is an atom neg or positive?
if the atom has more protons then electrons it is positive and vis versa
Is the number of protons the positive charge of an atom?
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.
When an atom is negative or positive?
An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
What is an atom with a positive charge or negative charge called?
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
Why is a neutral sodium atom more stable than a positive sodium atom?
its not
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
If an atom is positively charged, it has lost one or more electrons and has more protons than electrons. This results in an overall positive charge due to the unbalanced positive charges from the protons.
When does the formation of a positive ion occur?
A positive ion forms when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in the atom having more protons than electrons. This can happen when an atom interacts with other atoms through processes like chemical reactions or ionization.
Which atom in the molecule C Br is partially positive?
The carbon atom in CBr is partially positive, as bromine is more electronegative than carbon, causing the carbon atom to have a partial positive charge.
How does an atom become positive?
An atom can become positive if it loses an electron. For example if the atom had five protons and five electrons, then loses an electron, it would have more protons making it more positive than negative.
What if an atom has more protons than electrons?
it is a positive ion
When a positive ion forms?
A positive ion is formed when an atom loses one or more then electrons.
