What happens is an atom is ionized?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
Can atoms be ionized by being excited?
No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.
Are Ions charged atoms or groups of atoms?
Either one. You can have an ionized atom or an ionized molecule. Many ionized molecules are radicals that had been part of a larger molecule and the event that separated them also ionized the radical. This is what free radicalsare.
A sodium atom has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1 If the sodium atom becomes ionized its new electron configuration will be the same as which element?
neon!
How would you build a model that is ionized?
When the number of electrons does not equal the number of protons, the atom is ionized. (The atom is then called an ion).
What is is an ionized atom?

Which term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
Ionized atom Excited atom

Does the helium atom hold an overall charge?
Not normally - but it can be ionized.
Are the number of protons and electrons equal in an atom?
If it is not ionized, then yes

Either one. You can have an ionized atom or an ionized molecule. Many ionized molecules are radicals that had been part of a larger molecule and the event that separated them also ionized the radical. This is what free radicalsare.
Can atoms be ionized by changing the number of positive charges?
Ionizing is when you rip an electron away. so by taking an electron away, the atom is ionized
Is it positive to identify an atom by the number of protons it has?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom positively identifies the element of which the atom is an example, whether the atom is neutral or ionized.
What happens when there are too many electrons?
If there are excess electrons in an atom, the atom is likely to be ionized; that is, the stom will emit the electrons.
What ionic charge does a regular atom of potassium have?
An ordinary atom of potassium has no charge.An ionized atom of potassium typically has a +1 charge.Different things.
In an atom the number of what is equal to?
In an atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. That is, in the case of an un-ionized, non valence bonded molecule... If the atom were ionized, it could have fewer or less electrons. If the atom were part of a valence bonded molecule, it could be sharing valence electrons with other atoms.
