If your atom is too ionized, it will likely zip away from you and attach itself to a nearby atom or molecule. An atom becomes radioactive when its nucleus contains too many or too few neutrons. Try to keep the same number of neutrons and protons as you build your atom. If the imbalance is too great, radioactive decay will occur.

Are the number of protons and electrons equal in an atom?
If it is not ionized, then yes
Is it positive to identify an atom by the number of protons it has?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom positively identifies the element of which the atom is an example, whether the atom is neutral or ionized.
When the number of protons does not equal the number of electrons the atom is called?
an ion, or ionized
What is the atomic mass of an atom with 23 protons24nuetrons and 25 electons?
47 (and it's ionized)
When atom is said ionized?
this happens in case of a strong acid It means that all of the ions in an ionic salt are fully disociated into water . it just means that the salt has completely(since its 100%) broken into its constituent ions.for eg..if u say Nacl is 100%ionised in water(suppose)then it means that Nacl has completely broken into Na+ and cl- ions...
What happens when there are too many electrons?
If there are excess electrons in an atom, the atom is likely to be ionized; that is, the stom will emit the electrons.
What happens is an atom is ionized?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
What is is an ionized atom?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
What is an ionized atom?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
What happens if atom loses electron?
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
Which term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
Ionized atom Excited atom
Can atoms be ionized by being excited?
No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.
Are the number of protons and electrons equal in an atom?
If it is not ionized, then yes
Does the helium atom hold an overall charge?
Not normally - but it can be ionized.
Are Ions charged atoms or groups of atoms?
Either one. You can have an ionized atom or an ionized molecule. Many ionized molecules are radicals that had been part of a larger molecule and the event that separated them also ionized the radical. This is what free radicalsare.
Can atoms be ionized by changing the number of positive charges?
Ionizing is when you rip an electron away. so by taking an electron away, the atom is ionized
Is it positive to identify an atom by the number of protons it has?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom positively identifies the element of which the atom is an example, whether the atom is neutral or ionized.
