In an atom of antimatter what would be the charge of an electron?
An atom of antimatter does not contain any electrons. The equivalent of an electron in antimatter is a positron, which has charge +1.
What would chlorine's charge be if it gained 1 electron?
It would have a charge of -1 (negative one).
What is an element with a -1 charge in period 2?
It would be the ion fluoride, formed when a fluorine atom gains an electron. None of the elements on the periodic table are charged in their elemental state.
What is an example of How ions form?
Ions are formed when elements either gain or lose their electrons. For example, Sodium (Na), since it has one electron in its outer shell (valence electron) it will be easier for the atom to lose its one valence electron and give it to an element that would want to gain that one electron, for example, Chlorine. This reaction of gaining or losing electrons would create an either negative ion (gained electrons) or a positive ion (lost electrons). For the example that I did, the element Sodium would lose its one electron in its outer shell making it Na +1 because it would have one more positive charge then it would negative charge.
What are the Three examples of properties that are quantized at the scale of an electron?
Electrical charge is quantized. (negative in an electron, as an electron has exactly -1 fundamental unit of charge) The other two would be the energy levels in the atoms and the emitted energy.
What would happen if a copper ion lost an electron?
Well, it would become Cu +1 charge. Because when you take away an electron, it is the same thing(in terms of charge) as adding a proton.
What would the charge be if an atom gains an electron and why?
Every electron has a charge of minus one. If a neutral atom acquires an additional electron, then it also acquires the charge of that electron, and will have a net charge of minus one.
A subatomic particle that has a negitive charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. Anti-Protons can be synthesized in certain cases, and also have a negative charge, although they would not be part of normal matter.
What would happen if there were extra electrons in an atom?
when electron jump from lower energy level to high energy level
If an atom gains an electron would it have a negative or positive charge?
it would have a negative charge
In an atom of antimatter what would be the charge of an electron?
An atom of antimatter does not contain any electrons. The equivalent of an electron in antimatter is a positron, which has charge +1.
What would chlorine's charge be if it gained 1 electron?
It would have a charge of -1 (negative one).
Can Chlorine oxidation number ever be negative two?
No, that is not possible for Chlorine. Some elements have more than one oxidation number, such as Iron, Mercury, Copper, etc, but Chlorine only wants to gain one electron. If it had a -2 charge, it would not be stable, so that would never happen.
What happens to the charge of an atom if you take one electron away?
there would be a plus (+) charge. Electrons have a negative charge so when a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes positive. Another word for this is a cation.
Do electrons have a Negative Charge or a positive charge?
They are ALWAYS negatively charged. If positively charged it would be a positron and not an electron.
What would be the electrical charge of fluorine atom that gained an electron?
It would be -1 because gaining an electron will create a negative charge. F has a high electron affinity and therefore becomes an F- ion quite readily.
What is an element with a -1 charge in period 2?
It would be the ion fluoride, formed when a fluorine atom gains an electron. None of the elements on the periodic table are charged in their elemental state.
