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 happens when a nonmetal atom gains an electron from another atom?
It becomes a negatively charged ion with a charge of 1-.
How many electrons do hydrogen gains or lost?
Hydrogen shares its electrons to complete the octate so it gains 1 electrons. it can also its electrons.
When a substances gains electrons is it reduced?
Yes when any substance gains electrons , that substance is now then reduced.
What would be the charge of a beryllium atom that has a full outer shell?
Beryllium has 2 outer shell electrons. Its full electronic configuration is:- 1s2, 2s2
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
What is formed when a single atom of Krypton?
This single atom remain an atom of krypton !
What happens when an element gains electrons?
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
The charge an object has when it has gained electrons?
electric charge
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains two electrons?
Copper loss electrons.
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
What is the resulting charge of a surface that gains electrons?
Electrons have a negative charge. Therefore, an atom having extra electrons is a negative ion.
If an atom has four valence electrons is it an anion?
No, having four valence electrons does not determine whether an atom is an anion. An anion is formed when an atom gains electrons to have a negative charge. If the atom with four valence electrons gains four more electrons, it would become an anion.
When an atom has one or more extra electrons it will have a positive charge?
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
