What is the distribution of charge in a atom?
A polar atom has uneven distribution of charges in an atom.
How do electronegativity values determine the charge distribution in a polar in a polar covalent bond?
In a bond if the electronegativity is stonger in an atom then it gains a negative charge and the atom with the weaker electronegativity gains a posotive charge.
What term describes an atom that carries a positive or negative charge?
proton. nutron
Which of these describes the charges of an atom's electrons and protons?
Protons have a POSITIVE charge Neutrons don't have a charge, hence the name NEUTRON Electrons have a NEGATIVE charge Protons and Neutrons form the nucleus of the atom and Electrons spin around the nucleus
Rutherford proposed that atoms have positive nuclei which statement correctly describes the nucleus of an atom?
Yes, the atomic nucleus is positive.
What describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
Neutral charge describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred.

In a bond if the electronegativity is stonger in an atom then it gains a negative charge and the atom with the weaker electronegativity gains a posotive charge.
What term describes an atom that carries a positive or negative charge?
proton. nutron
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a two negative charge?
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
Which statement best explains why the overall charge on an atom is zero?
It has the same amount of anions and cations.
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a 2-charge?
An ion with a charge of 2- was an atom that lost 2 electrons to gain noble gas configuration.
Which of these describes the charges of an atom's electrons and protons?
Protons have a POSITIVE charge Neutrons don't have a charge, hence the name NEUTRON Electrons have a NEGATIVE charge Protons and Neutrons form the nucleus of the atom and Electrons spin around the nucleus
Rutherford proposed that atoms have positive nuclei which statement correctly describes the nucleus of an atom?
Yes, the atomic nucleus is positive.
What is a polar atom?
A polar atom is an atom that has a positive and negative charge distribution within its structure, typically due to differences in electronegativity. This causes the atom to have a slightly positive charge on one side and a slightly negative charge on the other side. Water (H2O) is a commonly cited example of a polar molecule, with oxygen being the polar atom as it pulls the shared electrons more strongly towards itself.
What statement is not true when two neutrons are added to oxygen -16?
The right answer is B. the charge of the oxygen atom changes
What changes the charge of the atom?
what changes the charge of the atom
