What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains two electrons?
Copper loss electrons.
How many electrons are in copper and uranium?
Copper atom has 29 electrons.Uranium atom has 92 electrons.
Are electrons in an atom represented by a O?
No. It is represented by an e- :)
The removal of an electron results to what charge?
+1. Because an atom normally has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is neutral. By removing a negative (the electron), the atom is then positive. The more electrons you remove, the more positive the atom becomes. Then, it is called an ion, such as Cu is copper, but Cu2+ is a copper(II) ion; it is a copper atom that has lost two electrons.
What atom has 7 electrons and no charge?
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons, and has no charge.
What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains two electrons?
Copper loss electrons.
How many electrons are in copper and uranium?
Copper atom has 29 electrons.Uranium atom has 92 electrons.
How many electrons does an atom of copper have?
Copper is a metal element. There are 27 electrons in a single atom.
How many electrons in copper?
Copper is a metal element. There are 29 electrons in a single atom.
Does copper have electrons in it?
Yes, an atom of copper contains electrons. copper is a neutral atom, thus the number of protons will equal the number of electrons. coppers atomic number is 29, thus there are 29 electrons and 29 protons in a copper atom.

Copper has 29 electrons?
Yes. Copper's atomic number is 29. This means the copper atoms have 29 protons in their nuclei. If the copper atom is neutral, it will also have 29 electrons so that the overall charge is zero (neutral).

How is the charge on an individual atom represented?
The charge of an atom as a whole is zero. We can give the charge of a nucleus. If any electron, negatively charged one, go out of atom then the atom gets positive charge and it is named as positive ion. Same way if excess electrons get cling with the neutral atom then the atom becomes a negative ion.
What is the net charge of copper atom if it gain two electrons?
Cu(2-) does not exist, because Cu does not gain electrons at all being a metal. When it gives off two electrons Cu(2+) ions are formed.
What atom has 7 electrons and no charge?
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons, and has no charge.
What do electrons do in an atom?
They affect the charge of the atom.
