When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
How nay electrons does nitrogen gain or loose in atomic bonding?
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
What are the three different tiny particles that make up an atom?
Electrons (Negative charge), Neutrons (Neutral charge), and Protons (Positive charge)
What are the three major submatomic partiales of atoms?
protons(positive charge), neutrons(zero charge) , and electrons(negative charge)
What are the three picies to an atom?
The three main components of an atom are as follows: Protons (Which have a +1 charge) Neutrons (Which are nuetral) Electrons (Which have a -1 charge)
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
How nay electrons does nitrogen gain or loose in atomic bonding?
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
How many electrons does anion P have?
The phosphide ion has 18 electrons as it forms an anion with the valency of three.
Why does a Phoshide Ion has a charge of -3?
Phosphide, like every element, ultimately has the goal of having eight electrons in its outermost shell (satisfying the octet rule). To satisfy its octet, phosphide gains three electrons, which makes it more negative. Therefore, a phosphide ion's charge is -3.
Is phosphide the name of the anion formed when phosphorus gains three electrons?
Yes, it is
Does AS3- lose or gain electrons?
The ion given is formed when the neutral arsenic atom gains three electrons.
How do you find the charge of nitrogen?
The nitrogen atom has five valence electrons. It needs three more electrons to have a noble gas configuration, so it will gain three electrons to form the nitride ion with a charge of 3-.
What are the three different tiny particles that make up an atom?
Electrons (Negative charge), Neutrons (Neutral charge), and Protons (Positive charge)
What is the oxidation state for nitrogen?
It has a range of oxidation states from -3 to +5
An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of?
An ion that has three more protons in the nucleus than there are electrons outside the nucleus will have a charge of +3.
What three types of charges can electrons have?
"Electrons" can have only one type of charge ... a so-called 'negative' charge. If it has anything else, it's no electron.
What are the three particles and their charges found in an atom?
protons: positive charge electrons: negative charge neutrons: no charge or neutral
