What effect does the charge of the atom have on the number of protons?
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
What is the charge on an ion with 65 protons and 69 electrons?
Remember.. I f there are more electrons than protons in an ion the charge will be negative. Here there is a -4 charge because the electrons are higher than the protons, if it were the opposite the charge would be +4.
Why must a positively charged body have a deficiency of protons?
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
How many more neutrons does thorium-230have than protons how many electrons does thorium-230 have?
The atomic number of thorium is 90. So there are 90 protons and 90 electrons. In Th-230 isotope there are 140 neutrons (230 - 90 = 140) So there are 50 more neutrons than the number of protons.
Is an object that is positively charged contains all proton and no electron?
No that is wrong. that compound has more protons than electrons.
Do all atoms that are anions have more electrons than protons?
Atom that are anions have two more electrons than it has in protons.
What has more electrons than protons?
A positive ion.
Do anions have more protons than neutrons?
No, they have more electrons than protons, hence their negative charge.
What is true about all anions?
Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
The type of particle that has either more or fewer electrons than protons is an ion. Ions are called cations when they have fewer electrons than protons and anions when they have more.
What are charged atoms due to a loss or gain of electrons?
all charged particles are ions. cations are positive meaning they have more protons than electrons. anions are negative meaning they have more electrons than protons
What is true of all atoms that are anions A more electrons than protons B more protons than electrons C fewer protons than neutral atom of same element D more neutrons than protons E net charge is 1-?
Answer A is correct: there are more electrons than protons. However, if a particle is an anion, it is not an atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.
What is a charged particle because it had more or fewer electrons then protons?
Cations are positively charged ions formed when atoms lose electrons. So they have less electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons. So they have more electrons than protons.
Does the number of electrons equal the number of protons in an atom?
In a balanced atom, yes. There are exceptions, however. Anions are atoms with more electrons than protons (negative charge). Cations are atoms with more protons than electrons (positive charge). Cations and Anions bond readily through ionic bonds. EXAMPLE: Na+ Cl- (Sodium Chloride)
What ions have more electrons than protons?
Atoms that have more electrons than protons are called Anions.
In an ion compound evey ion is attracted to what other ions?
A positively charged ion (cation) is attracted to a negatively charged ion (anion). Cations have more protons than electrons, whereas anions have more electrons than protons. Electrons are negatively charged, and protons are positively charged.
Do ions have more electrons than the atoms from which they were formed?
of course, ions are formed by loosing (cations) or gaining (anions) electrons. anions have more electrons than the atom from which it is formed.
