What charge does an ion have?
An ion can have a positive charge (cation) if it has lost electrons, or a negative charge (anion) if it has gained electrons. The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost during the process of ionization.
Why does a cation have a positive charge?
A cation has a positive charge because it has lost one or more electrons, leaving it with more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge.
If an object has a positive charge what has it done?
If an object has a positive charge, it has lost electrons and now has more protons than electrons. This excess of positive charge causes the object to repel other positively charged objects and attract negatively charged objects.
What is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a positive or negative charge?
An Ion. It can be a cation (+ve charge) or an anion (-ve charge).
Why do cations possess a positive charge?
Cations possess a positive charge because they have lost one or more electrons, leaving them with more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge.
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion. This is because it now has more positive charge (from the protons) than negative charge (from the electrons), leading to an overall positive charge.
What is an atom that has an electric charge because it lost or gained electrons?
An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.
How long does it take to re-charge this battery?
It depends on your charger, but probably about one to two hours. It will charge more quickly if it's turned off, however.
What is the electrical charge of rubidium ion?
The rubidium ion, Rb+, has a charge of +1. This means it has lost one electron, leaving it with one more proton than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge.
What do you understand by the term ion?
An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a positive or negative electrical charge. This charge imbalance creates the potential for ions to participate in chemical reactions and conduct electricity in solutions.
When do atoms have a positive charge?
When they have lost 1 or more electrons, possibly in a atomic bonding situation, or due to collisions.
When an atom has one or more extra blank it will have a blank charge?
When an atom has one or more extra electrons, it will have a negative charge, becoming an anion. Conversely, if an atom has lost one or more electrons, it will have a positive charge, becoming a cation. This charge imbalance occurs because the number of protons (positively charged) no longer equals the number of electrons (negatively charged).
