Atoms are defined by the number of positively charged protons, not negatively charged electrons.
Atoms that lose or gain an electron are called Ions.
Anion - gained an electron, negative charge
Cation - lost an electron, positive charge
What else can I help you with?
The number of electrons determines what of an element?
The number of electrons in an element determines its chemical properties and behavior. Specifically, it influences how an element will bond with other elements to form compounds and determines its reactivity.
What does elements in a column of the periodic table have?
Elements in same column have same number of outermost electrons. It determines chemical properties.
Why do elements as a family or group share similar properties?
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which determines their chemical properties. This leads to similarities in reactivity and chemical behavior among elements in the same group.
Does the number of electrons an atom has defines what kind of element it is?
Yes, the number of electrons in an atom determines its chemical properties and where it is located on the periodic table. Each element has a unique number of electrons, which determines its position in the periodic table and its interaction with other elements.
Which subatomic particle determines the properties of an element?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus determines the properties of an element. Every element has its own unique number of protons, called its atomic number, which is displayed on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
What does the group number of A elements (in the AB numbering system) tell about valence electrons?
The group number of A elements in the AB numbering system tells you the number of valence electrons that element has. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which determines their chemical properties.
What single characteristic of the atom of an elements determines the elements place in the periodic table?
The number of electrons determines an element's position.
Do elements in the same group have similar atomic numbers?
Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties but not necessarily similar atomic numbers. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which determines their reactivity and chemical properties.
Why do elements in a group all behave similarly?
Elements in the same group behave similarly because they all have the same number of electrons in their outer-most orbits. These electrons are what determines the types of bonds and chemical reactions the atom can undergo.
What subatomic particle determines the chemical properties of the atom?
ELEMENT
Are chemical properties of elements determined by neutrons?
No, chemical properties of elements are primarily determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, which determines the element's atomic number and thus its placement on the periodic table. Neutrons play a role in determining an element's stability and isotopic composition but do not significantly impact its chemical behavior.
Elements in the same group have the same what?
If you mean group then your referring to the columns of the periodic table. They will all have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical and sometimes physical properties.
