What else can I help you with?
How you can differentiate an atom from its ion?
The ion will have a charge, so if placed in an electric field it would accelerate while the atom would not react to it.
Which atom or ion in each what pairs would you expect to be larger H or H?
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
When an electron is gained, the atom becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. When an electron is lost, the atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
What is an atom's charge?
Zero. If it was charged, it would not be called an atom, but either an ion or a nucleus.
Does a hydrogen ion is a negatively charged hydrogen atom?
No, typically hydrogen forms a positive ion.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons it becomes a particle called an?
An Ion. An atom that loses electrons to become positively charged is a CATION. An atom that gains electrons to become negatively charged is an ANION. One there is an imbalanbced of electrons to protons, then it is is no longer and atom but an ion. An ATOM is a neutrally charged species An ION is a positively/negatively charged species.
What atom has no balance between positive and electric charges?
No atom can have an imbalance in its charge; if it did, it would be an ion.
How would an atom of sodium become a plus ion?
It would lose an electron
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
If a calcium atom has twenty protons then how many electrons would it have?
20 (any more or less and it would be an ion not an atom)
When a sodium atom becomes an ion it does what?
A sodium atom would lose a electron so it would become a Na+ ion
What a ion?
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
