What is is an atom with an electric charge?
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
How many protons are in an atom which has 55 neautrons and 43 electons?
If this atom has 43 electron it must have 43 protons to be a neutral atom of no charge.
How many electons are in a neutral atom?
A neutral atom has as many electrons as protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, but because there are the same number of them, they cancel each other out.
What are the three constituents of an atom and also state the nature of charge on each?
Protons- positive Nuetrons-nuetral electons-negative
Atom that loses electons is a ion?
Well im not great at science but i know that a atom which gains or loses an electron will gain a negitive/positive charge and become an ion
What kind of charge does an atom gain when it receives an electron?
Well an electron is negative so negative i guess But The atom is always neutral because the number of protons = electons
How many electons in a atom?
about 16
What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
What bond involves the transfer of electons from atom to atom?
Ionic
When an atom in no longer neutral it exists with a charge an atom that has a charge is called a?
When an atom is no longer neutral and has gained or lost electrons, it is called an ion. An atom that has gained electrons will have a negative charge (an anion), while an atom that has lost electrons will have a positive charge (a cation).
Do Electons carry a positive charge?
NO, they have a negative charge.
What difference between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
