What is oxidation number of an element?
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
What is 7 protons 6 electrons and 6 neutrons?
The protons have a positive charge and the electrons have a negative charge, so it would be 7 + -5, so the charge is +2.
Is 7 protons and 7 neutrons and 9 electrons is an ion?
If the 7 protons and 7 neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom, and the 9 electrons are in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, then yes, this would represent an ion with a 2- charge. And, in looking at the periodic table, this would be a nitrogen atom with a 2- charge, which is hypothetical, since nitrogen atoms gain 3 electrons when forming ions, and would therefore actually have 10 electrons, and a charge of 3- . However, the important thing is that if an atom has an unequal number of protons and electrons, it is an ion.
How many electrons must the oxygen atom lose to be stable?
Oxygen wants to gain 2 electrons, so its charge would be 2-, because electrons have a negative charge.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
What is the charge on an atom that has gained 5 electrons?
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
When an element loses an electron what happens to the charge of the element?
When "x" valence electrons are lost the charge is +x When "x" valence electrons are gained the charge is -x for example, if chlorine gained one electron, the charge would be Cl 1- or, if magnesium lost two electrons, the charge would be Mg 2+
What is oxidation number of an element?
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
An atom that has gained or lost electrons causing an electric charge?
The answer would be ion :D
The charge an object has when it gained electrons is it a positive charge?
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
What is 7 protons 6 electrons and 6 neutrons?
The protons have a positive charge and the electrons have a negative charge, so it would be 7 + -5, so the charge is +2.
How many electrons are around nitrogen?
There are often 7 electrons in nitrogen except when the nitrogen is in its ion form; then it would have 10 electrons.
Is 7 protons and 7 neutrons and 9 electrons is an ion?
If the 7 protons and 7 neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom, and the 9 electrons are in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, then yes, this would represent an ion with a 2- charge. And, in looking at the periodic table, this would be a nitrogen atom with a 2- charge, which is hypothetical, since nitrogen atoms gain 3 electrons when forming ions, and would therefore actually have 10 electrons, and a charge of 3- . However, the important thing is that if an atom has an unequal number of protons and electrons, it is an ion.
What is the electrical charge for nitrogen?
Elemental nitrogen has no charge., but as an ion it can have a charge that depends on how many electrons it has captured or released.In compounds it can have oxidation states of +5, +4, +3, +2, +1, −1, −2, −3In ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ions (NH4+) it has a oxidation value of -3 (and actually only a partial negative charge as part from a polar covalent, non-ionic bond).In Nitrate (NO3-) its oxidation value is +5, in nitrite +3 (but only a partial positve charge in both)
What is the oxide number of an element?
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
How many electrons must the oxygen atom lose to be stable?
Oxygen wants to gain 2 electrons, so its charge would be 2-, because electrons have a negative charge.
