Difference between ions and atoms?
Atoms are neutral particles consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons, while ions are charged particles formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Ions can be positively charged (cations) if they lose electrons or negatively charged (anions) if they gain electrons. Atoms do not have a net charge, whereas ions have a net positive or negative charge.
Why is sodium chloride electrically neutral?
Sodium chloride is electrically neutral because it consists of an equal number of positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions. The positive charge from sodium ions cancels out the negative charge from chloride ions, resulting in an overall neutral compound.
Sodium ions have a charge of 1 This is because?
they have one more proton than electron. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
What charge is any atom?
the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
What is the net charge ions in Sodium?
A crystal of salt consists of electrons and positive ions. How does the net charge of the electrons compare with the net charge of the ions
How are atoms that are neutral in charge?
Atoms that are neutral in charge have the same quantity of protons and electrons. Negative ions have extra electrons, and positive ions are missing electrons.
Ions are charged particles. Therefore ions must always have an unequal number of?
Ions are charged particles therefore ions must always have an unequal number of Protons and Electrons. Since the amount of protons, in general, can't change, then the amount of charge is controlled by how much electrons are present. E.g., If there is 7 protons and 7 electrons, the charge is 0 as the protons cancelled out the electrons. However if it gained 3 electrons, it would be 7 protons and 10 electrons and therefore have a charge of -3 (Because electrons are negatively charged)
Ions always has an unequal number of?
Ions always have an unequal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net electric charge. This charge can be positive if there are more protons than electrons, or negative if there are more electrons than protons. The number of neutrons in an ion can vary.
Find out number of electron's in one mole of sodium ion?
Find out number of electron's in one mole of sodium ion? 1 mole of atoms = 6.02*10^23 atoms 1 mole of electrons = 6.02*10^23 electrons A Na atom has 11 protons and 11 electrons. Protons have a +1 charge and electrons have a -1 charge. A Na ion has 1 less electron than a sodium atom. One Na ion has 10 electrons. 1 mole of Na ions = 6.02*10^23 ions Each Na ion has 10 electrons. 1 mole of Na ions = 10 * 6.02*10^23 ions 1 mole of Na ions = 6.02*10^24 ions
How many protons in sodium?
the number of protons is the atomic number, which for sodium is 11. The number of electrons in neutral sodium atom is 11 and these are in the following shells:- 1st valence = 2 electron 2nd valence = 8 electrons 3th valence = 1 electrons
What are the differences and the similarities on ions and atoms?
Atoms are neutral particles containing equal numbers of protons and electrons, while ions have gained or lost electrons, causing them to be positively or negatively charged. Both ions and atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons, but ions have an unequal number of protons and electrons, leading to their charge.
Atoms whose number of electrons does not equal it's number of protons are what?
In every element the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it. But in the ions there is loss or gain of electrons. But the ions and the atoms are not same . Ions are formed from atoms. In the case of radio active disintegration the number of protons changes . Even after the radio active decay they exist in ionic form. So far as the question is concerned we cannot say that an atom exists in which the number of protons is different from that of electrons.
