Protons and Neutrons.
An ion
Ion
the positive and negative energy is no longer in balance causing the atom to become an ion+ or an ion-
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
Valance electron
An "Ion" is an atom that has gained or lost an electron and is therefore no longer electrically neutral.
neutral atom
the positive and negative energy is no longer in balance causing the atom to become an ion+ or an ion-
the positive and negative energy is no longer in balance causing the atom to become an ion+ or an ion-
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
In that situation, the atom becomes an ion. Specifically, a positively charged ion is called a cation, a negatively charged one is an anion.
