What process would turn this fluorine atom into an ion?
Removing an electron
When an ion is created the number of these is changed in the atom?
electrons. the atom either gains or looses electrons to become negatively or positively charged. An ion can also be formed by the addition or subtraction of a neutron.
What is meant by ionization limit?
Ionization is the physical process of converting an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or other ions. And the highest point to which we can ionize an element is called its ionization limit.
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom is?
The element that an atom is is determined by the number of protons. The number of electrons can be changed (creating an ion), and the number of neutrons can be changed (creating an isotope), and as long as the number of protons does not change, the element that the atom is does not change.
What are atoms of the same element with different numbers of electrons?
Usually, an atom has the same number of protons as electrons, but when the number of electrons is changed, the atom is considered ionic. An atom that has lost an electron is called an anion, and an atom that has gained an electron is called a cation. One example of a cation is a potassium ion, or K+, and one example of an anion is chloride,(a chlorine ion) or Cl-
What is ionization of an atom?
Ionization of an atom is a simple process of which you convert an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or ions.
What is ionising?
Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to make a stable atom into an ion.

What happens before and after ionisation?
Ionization is the physical process of converting an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or other ions. This is often confused with dissociation (chemistry).
What is meant by limit?
Ionization is the physical process of converting an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or other ions. And the highest point to which we can ionize an element is called its ionization limit.
What forms from a neutral atom or molecule by adding electrons to it?
A positive ion, or cation forms.
What is meant by ionization limit?
Ionization is the physical process of converting an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or other ions. And the highest point to which we can ionize an element is called its ionization limit.
Is an atom charged?
No, atoms are neutral. Atoms can be charged by adding or deleting an electron(s). A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
How Does an atom become a positive ion and a negative ion?
This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
When an atom ionizes it does what?
In order for an atom to become an ion, removing or adding an electron should be done. The mass number remains the same because this indicates the number of protons and neutrons and not of electrons.
What is an affix of the word regress?
The word regress can be changed by adding the affix "-ion", which is a suffix, to create regression.
