A charage atom called : ion
proton positive charge location of proton and electron
electron negative charge (Proton) in the neutron
(Electron) orbiting the nucleus
if it's (+) means proton (POSTIVE)
if it's (x) means electron (NEGTIVE)
A cation is an ion with a positive charge.
The nucleus of the atom.
anion i think
Hahshs
positive charge
Neutral charge
This is an anion (negative ion).
Losing an ion creates a positive charge. This forms a positive ion.
an atom becomes positive when that atom gives their electron to other atom....when the atom reacts it is called ion not atom... so that means that ion has charge of ion+..... atom has to give or take( in this case give) electron to make their outer most shell full
positive charge
Neutral charge
This is an anion (negative ion).
a good on
The overall charge on an atom will depend on the ratio of protons to electrons in that atom. If the numbers match, the overall charge will be zero. It's a neutral atom. But if electrons have been "captured" or "loaned out" by the atom, an ion is created, and its charge will be negative if it has captured electrons, or positive if it has loaned out electrons. Charge will vary by integer amounts, i.e., the charge will be -1, -2, -3, etc. for the capture of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively, or +1, +2, +3, etc. for the loaning out of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively. Simple and easy.
metal atoms
A hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule has a slight positive charge, due to the high electronegativity of the nitrogen atom.
Atom itself has no charge. This happens because he has 3 subatomic particles in it, two of which have negative and positive charge, respectively. Protons are the ones who have positive charge and electrons have negative charge. And Nenutrons have no charge at all. :)
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
Proton . . . positive charge Electron . . . negative charge Neutron . . . no charge
Electrons, protons, and neutrons are different parts of an atom. The proton is positive and the electron is negative while the neutron is of both equally. Depending on the number of each is in an atom, is the type of atom you have.
Losing an electron makes an atom take on a positive charge, therefore it becomes a cation, or a positive ion.
