What else can I help you with?
Can a proton change the charge of an atom?
The electrical charge depends on electrons.
How does an atom acquire a change?
An atom acquires a charge by losing or gaining electrons.
Can overall charge of an atom change?
Yes, ionize it.
Which particle of the atom has a positive change?
Protons have positive charge
How can a isotope change into a different element?
By changing the number of neuturons the atom is converted into isotope. As we know the atom is made up of electrons(negative charge),protons(positive charge) and neutrons(no charge),when we change number of electrons in an atom ions are created in the same way change in number of protons create change in the identity of atom and change in neutrons results isotopes
Why cant you change the charge of an ion to make formulas?
You can't change the charge because that is changing the very chemical nature of the ion/atom. To make formulas with ions, you use subscripts to change the NUMBER of ions in the formula without changing the CHARGE.
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
What changes the charge of the atom?
what changes the charge of the atom
What will be the charge of a neutral atom?
A neutral atom will have a charge of ZERO
When neutrons electrons and protons leave the atom what happens to the charge on the atom?
If neutrons, electrons, and protons leave the atom, the charge on the atom will change based on the number of protons and electrons that have left. Protons and electrons have opposite charges, so if electrons leave, the atom becomes positively charged, and if protons leave, the atom becomes negatively charged. Neutrons do not affect the charge of the atom since they are neutral.
How could a fluorine atom change into a fluorine ion?
A fluorine atom can change into a fluorine ion by gaining one electron to achieve a full valence shell. This extra electron gives the fluorine atom a negative charge, transforming it into a fluoride ion.
Why atomic number is expressed by protons and not electrons?
electrons change the charge of an atom, not the element itself.
