What is the charge of a fluoride atom?
The charge on a fluoride ion is -1.
What happens to an atom's overall charge if it gains an electron?
since an electron is negatively charged, adding an electron to an atom will cause it to become negatively charged.
What is the valence of potassium?
Potassium has a valence of +1. This means that it typically forms ions with a positive charge of +1 by losing one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
A chlorine ion has a charge of 1- so what can be inferred about the ion?
The chloride ion (Cl-) has gained an electron, giving it a negative charge of 1-. This means that the ion now has one more electron than protons, resulting in an overall negative charge.
When will an atom's charge be neutral?
after gaining or loosing valence electron or electrons
What is the approximate effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in krypton?
The approximate effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in krypton is close to +8. This is because the atomic number of krypton is 36, and the core electrons shield some of the positive charge from the nucleus felt by the valence electrons.
When an atom gains an electron to create full valence it results in that atom having a net charge of what?
If one electron is gained, then it has a charge of -1.
What is the valance electron of lithium atom that is easily remove to form a lithium with a charge of 1?
The valence electron of a lithium atom is in the 2s orbital. It is easily removed to form a lithium ion with a charge of +1 because lithium only has one valence electron, making it relatively easy to lose.
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+
How do atoms maintain their charge?
Atoms in their stable state have equal number of protons and electrons.If an atom loses one electron, it gains one positive charge- electrophile in terms or organic chemistry. If an atom gains one electrons it has overall negative charge or no charge if the incoming electron completes the valence occupancy.
What subatomic particles determine the charge of an atom?
Protons (+1 charge) and electrons (-1 charge) are the subatomic particles that determine the charge of an atom. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The number of protons in an atom determines its overall positive charge, while the number of electrons determines its overall negative charge.
Is an electron the overall charge of an atom?
No.. The overall charge of an atom is neutron because it's balanced :)
