Difference between Diffusion and ion implantation?
diffusion is high temperature process while ion implantation is low temperature process
Name the charge responsible for current flow?
it is electron because there are free electrons in a conductor .The atoms are fixed on their places.The positive ion (as a result of emission of an electron which is negatively charged ) remains still on its place and hence the free electrons are responsible for the current flow . In solutions and gases the positive ions can also move because they are free to move unlike in the metal
What electric charge is the characteristic for an ion of 0?
O that is oxygen is a non metal and a non metal has a characteristic of gaining electrons so when they gain electrons the also gain a net charge in negative as no. of protons become less than the no. of electrons. now oxygen has atomic no. 8 and valency of 2 so it requires 2 electrons to complete an octet i.e. 8 electrons in the outermost shell and to get a negative charge. since it will gain 2 electrons so it will have a net charge -2. The oxidation number of oxygen is -2, except in a few cases, including superoxides (-1/2), peroxides (-1), and oxygen fluorides (+1, +2).
What is mineral ion?
ions that plants need for supprt and growth
Electrolytes resist the flow of electricity in water?
They don't. By definition, ions are charged particles, and charge is what electricity is all about. If the ions are suspended in a medium like a dilute acid solution, they may move slowly, but only because of the molecules that are in their way. If it were entirely up to a positively charged ion, it would immediately go to a grounded metal object that's in it's neighborhood.
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is the difference between a calcium ion and a sodium ion?
Sodium ions have a +1 charge, whereas calcium ions have a 2+ charge.
What is an atom with an electric charge?
An ion
What atom has no balance between positive and electric charges?
No atom can have an imbalance in its charge; if it did, it would be an ion.
What is the difference between chlorine ion and atom?
A chlorine ion has one less electron, giving it a +1 charge.
Atom has an electric charge what is it called?
An ion.
What is the main difference between an atom and an ion?
Basically, an ion is when the charge of an element is not what it would normally be. So if you took oxygen, which is naturally a -2 charge, and it lost an electron, it would become an oxygen ion with a charge of -1.
What is defined as an atom that has a charge?
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
What has a larger negative charge a nitrate ion or a nitrite ion?
A nitrate ion and nitrite ion have the same charge of -1. The difference between the two ions is that nitrates formula is NO3 while nitrites formula is NO2.
What has a positive ion?
A proton has a positive electric charge.
Does an ion atom or molecule have an electric charge?
yes
How does a negative differ from a positive ion?
In the electric charge.
