What is a 3 letter word for an electrically charged atom?
An ion I believe
How many electrons do an atom with an atomic number of 3?
if it is a netrual atom it will have 3 but if it is charged it will change
What are the 3 particles found in atom?
The three sub-atomic particles in a atom are protons which are positively charged, electrons which are negatively charged and then neutrons which have no charge. :)
How many protons are there in one atom of lithium?
Neutrally charged, 3
What 3 subatomic particles make up an atom what are their charges?
Positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons
Is an atom positively negatively or neutrally charged?
If i remember correctly, and atom is neutraly charged. It becomes positively charged or neagative due to induction, contact, static and something else In an atoms nucleus, there are protons, which are positively charged, neutrons, which don't have a charge, and electrons, which are negatively charged. it depends if the atoms are the same compared to the protons it would be negativley charged and when it is in excess it is positivley charged
Does an atom have a charge?
It depends on the atom. An atom is made of 3 subatomic particles- a negatively charged electron, a positively charged proton, and a neutral neutron. If the number of electrons and the number of protons are different, then the atom has a net charge. If the number of electrons and the number of protons are the same, then the atom is said to be neutrally charged. Changing the number of neutrons affects the mass and therefore important traits of each atom, but does not affect its charge. Atoms that have a net charge are called 'ions.'
What is the charge on a neutral atom if it loses 3 electrons?
Depending on the atom, if it loses an electron it will become positively charged. In some cases it will also become unstable. All stable atoms are neutral, because there is always an equal amount of positively charged protons as there are negativity charged electrons. If the atom loses a positively charged proton, then the overall charge of the atom will become negative and vice versa.
What is the difference between a nitrogen atom N and a nitrogen ion N3?
The N atom is electrically neutral - the number of positively charged protons is equal to the number of negatively charged electrons. That is why there is no net charge on the atom. On the other hand the N3- anion (negatively charged ion) carries a charge of minus 3. It has gain 3 electrons, thereby incurring 3 negative charges. There are 3 more electrons than protons in N3-. N3- can combine with a cation to form an ionic compound.
What is an atom with 3 neutrons 3 protons 3 electrons and a nucleus called?
This may seem confusing but this question is impossible to answer. The nucleus of the atom is made of positively charges protons and neutrons with no charge held together by what is known as the strong force. Electrons are negatively charged and circle the nucleus at nearly the speed of light. There is no atom with three protons and three neutrons.
Is Al plus 3 an atom?
No, it's an ion or charged particle. It has a positive electric charge of 3. In other words, it's an aluminum atom with 3 electrons ripped off, thus leaving it with a full outer shell.
Why is the helium atom's nucleus postively charged?
Anything that is positively charged means that it has an extra number of protons. 1. PROTONS = Positive 2. NUETRONS = Neutral 3. ELECTRONS = Negative The Helium atom could have 6 protons, 5 nuetrons, and 5 electrons. The extra proton would make the atom Positive.
