What has to happen in order for an atom to lose an electron?
the attraction between the electron and the protons has to be broken
What will happen to an atom is an beta particles emits or adds?
The beta particle will alter the electromagnetic field of the atom. An electron will add to the electromagnetic charge if emitted, and subtract from, if it is absorbed. A positron will do the opposite. The atomic nucleus will also change. an electron can convert a neutron to a proton if emitted, and a proton to a neutron if absorbed. The positron, again, will do the opposite.
What would happen to an elements charge if you add or take away an electron?
It will change.
How does an atom become positively or negatively charged?
you add or take away electrons
What will happen if an electron is brought near an alpha particle?
The alpha particle will grab the electron, making it a part of its electron cloud.? As a result, the helium atom (which is what an alpha particle is) transitions from a +2 charge to a +1 charge.?A second electron will bring the helium atom to neutral, non-ionic, charge.
What is likely to happen to an atom with one valence electron?
This atom lose an electron.
What happens when chlorine atoms gain an electron in its outer energy shell?
what happen when an atom what has a lot of electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron
What part of the atom does not add mass to it?
The electron.
What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?
ion
What happen when a atom that has lost an electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
How do you charge an atom?
remove either a proton or electron OR add a proton or electron...
Which component of an atom does not add to the atoms mass?
electron
What happen when atom an electron?
It becomes a negative ion.
What has to happen in order for an atom to lose an electron?
the attraction between the electron and the protons has to be broken
What happen when you take way an electron and a proton?
I think you won't have a atom because the electron, proton and neutron is the basic part of the atom.
What happens when you add or remove protons in an atom?
you cant add proton to an atom...u can only add electron....
What happen when a sodium atom that has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
