What else can I help you with?
When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?
The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
An atom in which the electrons are not the same number as the protons is called an?
Ion.
What is an atom called when the number of protons is not equal to the number of electrons?
An ion. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom gains a positive charge and is called a cation. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom gains a negative charge and is called an anion.
What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element on an periodic table?
There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.
What type of number is the number of electrons in an outer shell of an atom called?
valence
When the number of protons does not equal the number of electrons the atom is called?
an ion, or ionized
Does a number of electrons transferred from or to an atom that makes it an ion is called the oxidation number?
No, the number of electrons transferred from or to an atom that makes it an ion is called the charge of the ion. Oxidation number is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all the bonds in the compound were purely ionic.
What are the outer electrons of an atom called?
The outer electrons of an atom are called valence electrons.
The protons in the nucleus of an atom is called the?
the no. of protons or the no.of electrons inthe nucleus ofan atom is called the atomic number of that atom.
