When an atom is no longer neutral, it exists with a charge. An atom that has a charge is called a _______.?
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.
What is an atom called when it no longer has a neutral charge?
An atom with no electric charge will be called a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, there is a balance of charges, and the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. It's really that simple. Compare this to atoms that have an imbalance of charges. These atoms are called ions.
Why does an atom have an overall neutral charge in regard to subatomic particles?
A proton has a charge of (+1) and an electron has a charge of (-1) and neutrons do not have a charge. In an atom there are an equal numbers of protons and electrons so the charges cancel. If there are a different number of protons and electrons, the particle is no longer an atom, but instead an ion.
What is the overall charge on any atom?
An atom is neutral, and therefore has an overall charge of zero. If an atom either loses or gains electrons through a chemical reaction, or loses protons through radioactive decay, so that it then has an overall charge, it is no longer considered to be an atom but is classified as an ion.
Wta happens whenan atom forms an ion?
When an atom becomes an ion, it is because the atom now no longer has a neutral charge. Nothing really happens besides this, unless it reacts to a different element.
When an atom is no longer neutral it exists with a charge. An atom that has a charge is called a .?
An ion. if the charge is positive, it is know as a cation and if the charge is negative , it is known as an anion.

A specie that no longer exists in a localized area or region.?
Its called Extirpated
What is the name for Irish pound?
The Irish Pound no longer exists, but it was called the Punt.
What is the balance in motion of particles when a concentration difference no longer exists in the solution called?
equilibrium
What does it mean if an entire atom has a neutrual charge?
If an atom has an overall neutral charge this means that the number of electrons are equal to the number of protons in the atom. Take a transition element as an example say Titanium which has an atomic value of 22 meaning it has 22 protons and 22 electrons as protons are positive and electrons are negative the overall charge is neutral.
If a business school no longer exists how can you get a copy of a diploma or transcript?
How can I get my college transcripts if my college no longer exists?
Why are elements from the periodic table neutral?
All of them are electrically neutral, that is, they do not need to appear in ionic form.
Why are ions charged atoms and thus no longer neutral atoms?
That is exactly what a definition of an ion is. Ion's have charges. That's what they are. WHY? They lose or gain electrons. By GAINING an electron, you have a negative (-) charge. By LOSING an electron, you have a positive (+) charge.
