What do you call an element that has lost an electron?
Elements that have gained or lost an electrons are called IONS. Ones that gained electrons (non-metals) and are therefore negatively charged, and known as ANIONS, and those that lost electrons (metals), are positively charged and known as CATIONS
How do electrons of an atom compare to planet and the sun?
Inside atoms, there are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutrally charged, and electrons are negatively charged. In most atoms, the number of protons and neutrons are equal, meaning the atom is neutrally charged. However, protons and neutrons are about the same size, while electrons are MUCH smaller. For reasons we don't fully understand, the protons and neutrons stick together in a clump at the center of an atom while the electrons circle around. We call that clump the nucleus. Now, this is very similar to a solar system. The sun is very large, with many smaller planets circling around. The difference is, planets circle around the sun because of gravity, and electrons circle around the nucleus because God likes to screw with us.
What did Thomson call electrons?
Thomson believed about atoms, that : An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded in it. Positive and negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude, thus an atom is electrically neutral and it has no overall + or - charge.
How a plastic ruler can become negativiely charged?
Technically, it doesn't. Static electricity is not something some things have or don't have. It is built up by two objects coming in contact with eachother. Some objects are more negative or positive than others, and the more positive items tend to lose their electrons more easily than the negatives, who tend to gain electrons. The gain/loss of electons happens on contact. Rubbing creates more contact, and therefore more gain/loss. The shock comes when a positively charged object touches a grounded item, such as a metal post or a person. Electrons jump to the object through the grounded item from the ground. If said object is a human, (s)he will feel a jolt of electricity, which we call static. Note: I call positive objects positive because they become positive on contact. I use the same reasoning with negative objects.
What do you call build up of electrons?
electroyd
What do you call an element that has lost an electron?
Elements that have gained or lost an electrons are called IONS. Ones that gained electrons (non-metals) and are therefore negatively charged, and known as ANIONS, and those that lost electrons (metals), are positively charged and known as CATIONS
What positively-charged particle is found in the nucleus of all atoms?
Protons are found in the nucleus of all atoms and are positively charged.
What is an electrically charged atom or molecule called?
an ionAn atom is electrically neutral as they have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
What do you call electrically charged particles that result from the loss of one or more electrons by a parent atom?
Ions. Specifically Cations. Particles that gain electrons are anions.
What happens to an oxygen atom that does not contain the right amount of electrons?
Not much: it is what we call an ion. As a charged item, it will be drawn to any item that is differently charged to itself - Lacking an electron, it is positively charged, so it will be drawn to an item that is negatively charged (a surplus of electrons), neutrally charged (the right number of electrons), or even less-positively charged. As soon as an ion comes in contact with such an item, it will grab an electron from that. Be that item a larger atom or molecule, a spec of dust, a wall, or you. It will then be an ordinary, uncharged oxygen atom. What it touched will then be charged slightly differently, and will be drawn to another charged item, until everything is charged the same. So for an atom, being short an electron is not a big deal.
What do you call the flow of negatively charged electrons in a conductor?
electric current
What do you call an element that gives away or gains electrons?
These elements are called ions. Elements choose to lose or gain electrons because they want to achieve electronic stability. All metals lose electrons and all non-metals gain electrons to get the respective stable electronic structure they want. As for metalloids, some elements in there gain while some lose electrons. When elements lose or gain electrons, they will form a charge, since the number of protons and neutrons are not balanced now. All non-metals form negative charged ions while all metals form positive charged ions. Compounds are formed when a positively charged ion is attracted to an negatively charged ion by the electrostatic force of attraction. For example, sodium chloride is a compound of sodium ion and chlorine ion. The positively charged sodium ion is attracted to the negatively charged chloride ion to form the compount.
What did Rutherford call positivelyy charged central part of the atom?
the nucleus of an atom that contains the positively charged protons and the neutral neutrons
What do we call negatively charged particles that move around in an atom's nucleus?
electrons
A molecule that has electrically charged areas is called?
If you are talking about covalent bonded molecules, then you would call them polar molecules. This means one element is hogging the shared electrons more than the other. This would make one element partially charged positively, and the other element partially charged negatively The signs to show partially charged looks like an incomplete 8.
If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?
If the number of protons and electrons are not equal, the atom becomes a charged particle called an ion.
Does current always go from positive to negative?
We call this Conventional Current Flow, where imaginary positively charged particles are repelled away from a positive charge and attracted towards a negative charge.The reality is that electrons are actually flowing through the conductor. Electrons are negatively charged particles and flow from negative to positive. It's just easier to think of a positive current flowing than a negative current.
