What is the difference between ions and electrons?
An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has an electrical charge from having either gained or lost electrons. An ion may have either a positive or a negative charge. An electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative charge and is usually found in the orbitals of atoms and ions.
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
Treu or false Atoms have a positive charge?
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
What charge atoms always have?
All atoms are neutral because the positive and negative charges within the atom are equal. The number of protons (+) and the number of electrons (-) are the same. Ions are atoms with a positive or negative charge. A cation is a positively charged atom with less electrons than protons. An anion is a negatively charged atom with more electrons than protons.
Is oxygen atom has an overall negative charge with the hydrogen atoms having an overall positive charge?
All atoms have the same overall charge with the exception of ionization (electrons are lost or gained). since there are the same amount of protons and electrons in an atom, the negative and positive cancel each other out.
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
What is an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically changed?
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
A ketone bears a negative charge on what atom of the carbonyl group?
ketone bears negative charge on the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group.
What is the Charge of an atom or group of atoms?
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
What is the negative charge in atoms?
Electrons have an electrical negative charge.
What is an atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge?
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
What is an atom called that has a positive or negative charge as a result of gaining losing electrons?
It's called an ion, and it simply means a charged atom (or group of atoms.)
What is an atom or group of atoms that have a positive charge?
they are the cations
What is a atom with a net positiveor negative charge?
Atoms do not have any charge, if they have, they are called as ions.
An atom or group of atoms that carries an electric charge is called an?
Electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Ions occur when an atom looses or gains electrons. A normal atom is neutral, because it has the same number of positive protons and negative neutrons. When electrons are lost or gained, the atom can become positive (a cation) or negative (an anion). When an atom is positeve or negative, it is electrically charged.
What is an atom or group of atoms called that has a neutral charge?
neutron
