Where is the single electron in an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen located?
The single electron in a neutral hydrogen atom resides in the 1s orbital.
What is the ground state electronic configuration of a neutral atom of element X?
It is the electron configuration of a neutral, not excited atom.
The numbers in a valence electron in a neutral atom is?
6
How does the size of each compare with the size of the neutral atom form which it is formed?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
What energy changes when a neutral atom gains an electron?
When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.
How many electron are in an neutral atom of sodium?
there are 11 electron is a neutral atom of sodium
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
a neutral atom :)
Where is the single electron in an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen located?
The single electron in a neutral hydrogen atom resides in the 1s orbital.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
neutral atom
Give the electron configuration for a neutral atom of chlorine?
The electron configuration for neutral Chlorine is 2.8.6.
What happens to a neutral atom that accepts one electron?
The neutral atom then takes on a negative charge because the incoming electron has a negetive charge.
The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is the atom's?
Ionization Energy or electron energy
How many electron does a neutral atom of mercury have?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
What is the ground-state electron configuration of a neutral atom of manganese?
The ground-state electron configuration for a neutral atom of manganese is: 1s22s22p63s23p63d54s2 or [Ar]3d54s2
What is the charge of an atom that has an equal number of protons and electron?
It is a neutral atom
When an electron atom is added to a neutral atom energy is?
It becomes an anion.
