What else can I help you with?
How are molecules different from atoms?
Atoms consist of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge), and neutrons (neutral charge), while molecules consist of atoms.
How are ions different from Atom?
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
What is the electrical charge of phosphate?
Phosphate molecules have a charge of -3 due to the presence of three oxygen atoms that are more electronegative than the phosphorus atom, leading to the overall negative charge.
What does an atom have more electrons or protons?
Normally it has an equal amount of both, but it can lose and gain electrons. This gives it an electrical charge. If there are more protons than electrons the charge is positive and if there are more electrons the charge is negative.Added:But charged particles are called IONS, not atoms.
What are molecules made up of?
Molecules are substances consisting two or more atoms.
Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?
Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
Does an ion refer to two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds?
No. What you describe is called a molecule. An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a net electrical charge.
Which is more massive an atoms nucleus or an atoms electron cloud?
The nucleus, consisting of protons and neutrons, is much more massive than the electrons.
What is a group of atoms that carries an electrical charge called?
an atom or molecule carrying charge is an ion. if there's more than one atom involved it's considered polyatomic.therefore it's called a polyatomic ion.
How does an alloy differ from a metal?
An alloy consist of two or more different atoms and a metal is just consisting of the same atoms.
If an atom has 18 protons 15 neutrons and 22 electrons what is the atoms electrical charge?
If an atom has 15 protons 12 neutrons and 16 electrons, the neutrons have absolutely nothing to do with the electrical charge. Having one more electron than protons would determine the electrical charge of the atom. The atom would have a charge of -1. The extra electron would give it a negative charge.
Is argon monatomic?
Yes, argon is a monatomic gas. It exists as individual atoms, as opposed to molecules consisting of two or more atoms.
