A neutral atom of silicon has how many electrons?
It has 14 electrons with an electron arrangement of 2,8,4
When a neutral atom gains electrons it is then?
This atom become an anion.
How can a neutral atom become a positively changed particle?
A neutral atom becomes a positive atom by losing an electron.
What is the electron configuration for a neutral potassium atom?
The electron configuration for a neutral potassium atom is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1. This configuration represents the arrangement of electrons in the energy levels around the nucleus of the potassium atom.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
Is helium an isotope atom or ion?
Helium is a neutral atom that has several isotopes and can become an ion.
When do atoms become electrically charged?
A neutral atom, in order to be neutral, has the same number of protons and electrons. If the atom gains or loses an electron, or more than one, it will become electrically charged.
What is a positive sodium ion and sodium atom?
When the neutral atom of sodium lose an electron become the cation Na+.
What is bigger a neutral atom or a negative atom?
neutral atom
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
Size of cation is smaller than its neutral atom?
Yes, the size of a cation is smaller than it's neutral atom. This is so because cations have a low number of shells and hence a high effective nuclear charge which causes them to be smaller in size then their neutral atoms.
