Why atom are electrically neutral?
because the electrons and protons are equal.
How many atoms are in nitrogen?
In its natural state, nitrogen is diatomic and will form N2 (two bonded nitrogen atoms).
How does the structure of the atom change as its position on the periodic table changes in reference to their respective groups and periods?
The number of protons and electrons is specific for atoms in a neutral state.
Does chlorine atom has a smaller radius than chlorine ion?
Yes, considerably so. In general, positive ions are smaller than their neutral atoms, and negative ions are larger than their neutral atoms.
Two bonded fluorine atoms form a neutral particle called what?
a fluorine molecule
Explain why atoms in their natural state are neutral in charge?
because there is the same number of protons as electrons so the charges equal each other.
What neutral particle does fluorine atoms contain?
The natural isotope 19F has 10 neutrons.
Why atom are electrically neutral?
because the electrons and protons are equal.
What is an autoionization?
An autoion is an ion which has been formed via the process of autoionization - where atoms or molecules spontaneously transition from an electrically neutral state to a lower-energy ionized state.
Where is a positive located in a atom?
in its neutral state atoms are positive the protons in the nucleus are positive
When a neutral atom undergoes oxidation the atoms oxidation state?
increases as it loses 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.
How many atoms are in nitrogen?
In its natural state, nitrogen is diatomic and will form N2 (two bonded nitrogen atoms).
What are neutral atoms?
All atoms are electrically neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons.
What is the charge on an atom in its natural stare?
Atoms by definition are neutral. Once they gain or lose electrons and acquire a charge, they are called ions.
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?
Do Nonmetallic atoms have Negative charge or a Neutral charge?
Nonmetallic atoms have Neutral charge not a Negative charge.
