Why is ultraviolet light considered ionizing radiation?
That means that it is energetic enough to ionize atoms - to convert neutral atoms into ions.
Which atoms are considered neutral?
An atom with with five protons, six neutrons, and five electrons
Do neutral atoms stick to positive atoms?
By extreme heat and pressure, neutral atoms stick to positive atoms. Such as in Nuclear fission/ fusion.
An electrically neutral is what?
an electrically neutral atom is just an atom. Atoms with more or fewer electrons (negatively charged) compared with their protons (which determines the element) are considered ions.
What are neutral atoms?
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
Do neutral atoms have a positive or negative charge?
No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?
How are ions different from Atom?
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
When is an atom uncharged or neutral?
A neutral atom has no electrical charge on it. So the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding it. In their normal, elemental state, all atoms are neutral. If it's in an ionised solution, say, then it's not neutral. I think there's something more to your question, though. Why are you asking - is there a situation or a kind of atom that you are thinking of?
What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
