What is the difference between an electrically charged atom or a electrically balanced atom?

∙ 14y ago
Most atoms are electrically balanced because they have the same number of protons, which have a charge of +1, and electrons, which have a charge of -1. However electrons can be lost or gained. When they are, the atom has a different number of protons to electrons so it becomes charged.
Example.
An uncharged atom of oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. Sometimes it gains two electrons. This means that it has 8 protons but 10 electrons. +8 -10 = -2. therefore the charged atom of oxygen has a charge of -2.

What is a word for an electrically charged atom?
An electrically charged atom is an ion.
What is filled with electrically charged ions.?
The ionosphere is the layer filled with electrically charged ions.
Why do elements have no electrical charge?
In an electrically neutral, there are as many oppositely charged particles as the electrons. Therefore, the net electrical charge come out to be zero.
Does the space around an electrically charged object is an electric field?
yes the space around a electrically charged object is known as electric field......
How can an electrically charged object attract or repel another charged object with out any contract between the objects?
Electric and magnetic forces are transmitted via photons.
What is the difference between electrically charged and a neutral object?
Electrically polarized objects have had their charges separated, so one side will be positive, and the other side will be negative.
Is argon electrically balanced?
Yes it is. It has 18 protons (positively charged species) and18 electrons (negatively charged species)
What is the force between electrically charged objects?
static
What is the difference of an atom or an ion?
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
What is a word for an electrically charged atom?
An electrically charged atom is an ion.
Is heat electrically charged?
Heat is itself a form of energy, its not electrically charged
When does an atom become electrically balanced?
An atom gains a net charge by losing or gaining one or more electrons. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a positively charged ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it will become a negatively charged ion.
What is filled with electrically charged ions.?
The ionosphere is the layer filled with electrically charged ions.
Are Ions electrically charged particles?
yes ions are electrically charged particles in the troposphere
What state of matter consits of electrically charged particles?
ions are electrically charged particles
Is filled with electrically charged ions?
The ionosphere is the layer filled with electrically charged ions.
What is the difference between hydrodynamic lubrication and electrohydrodynamic lubrication?
The difference is that hydrodynamic lubrication requires the motion of the moving parts that are to be lubricated to pump the actual lubricant. Electrohydrodynamic lubrication involves electrically charged lubricants.
