What charge would an oxygen atom with 10 electrons have?
An Oxygen atom would never contain 10 electrons on its own. It would have a maximum of 8 electrons at one time, unless the "oxygen atom" you are referring to is in fact an oxygen ION, in which case the charge would be -2. However, an oxygen ion can never be "by itself". It must be bonded with either itself as a diatomic or with another element as a compound.
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.
How many times heavier is a copper atom compared to an oxygen atom?
It's 4 times heavier.
Is oxygen is a positive charge?
No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge
Does Cl- interact most closely with an oxygen atom within a water molecule?
No. The oxygen atom in a water molecule has a partial negative charge, and so it would not readily interact with Cl-, another negatively charged species.
What kind of charge would the oxygen atom have compared to the hydrogen atom?
Oxygen -2 Hydrogen +1
What kind the charge would the oxygen atom have compared to the hydrogen atoms?
Oxygen goes to -2 Hydrogen to +1
How many electrons would an atom of Oxygen need to have no charge?
Oxygen needs 8 electrons to have no charge.
What kind of charge would oxygen atom have compared to the hydrogen atoms?
oxygen atoms have -2 charge where hydrogen generally have +1

If oxygen gains 2 electrons what charge will it have?
It would have a negative charge. It would be a negative ion with a 2+ charge.Remember: when an atom gains electrons they become NEGATIVE.when an atom loses electrons they become POSITIVE.
How can you use the word proton in a sentence?
A proton is a single positive charge in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons determine what the atom is. Hydrogen has one proton, compared to eight for oxygen.
What is the charge of the oxygen atom in cobalt?
Cobalt is an element, there is no oxygen.
The overall charge of the oxygen atom is?
Zero
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.
In the three molecules O2 HCl and F2 what atom would have a partial negative charge?
Oxygen
What is the charge of a oxygen atom?
ALL atoms whatsoever DO NOT have a charge!! They're neutral.
