An atom is stable when it?
An atom is stable when the number of protons equals the number of electrons, creating a balanced electrical charge. Additionally, stable atoms have filled outer electron shells that follow the octet rule, meaning they have eight electrons in their outermost shell.
What is the state of an atom with the same number of protons and electrons?
neutrally charged ones All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, that's why they're electrically neutral. The negative charge on the electron and the positive charge on the proton are the same magnitude.If there is a difference in the number of protons and neutrons, we call the atom an Ion, and state the charge.When there are more electrons than protons, we call this an Anion (a negatively charged Ion) and when there are fewer electrons than protons, this is called a Cation (a positively charged Ion).
What is stable atoms?
First off, an ion is an atom that is either positively or negatively charged, meaning that it has more electrons than protons, or vice versa. Electrons are negative; protons are positive; neutrons are neutral, hence the name. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, electrons are in a series of rings around the nucleus. A stable ion is simply an ion whose outermost ring is full. An easy way to visualise this is by picturing a Bohr diagram.
What electron has 51 protons and 72 electrons?
This electron would have 51 protons and 51 electrons. The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons, as atoms are electrically neutral.
For a given element all atoms of that element have the same number of?
The identity of every element is given by the number of protons in the nucleus. To keep electrical neutrality, they also have the same number of electrons.See the Related Questions for more information about protons, neutrons, and electrons in atoms.
Why must the number of protons and atoms in an element be the same?
If you mean protons and electrons then protons are positive and electrons are negative, so the protons and electrons cancel each other out leaving the atom stable. If the numbers were uneven, the atom would be unstable and decay, but that doesn't mean that all unstable atoms have an uneven number of protons and electrons.
When atoms are at rest what do they have an equal number of?
protons and electrons protons and electrons
An atom is stable when it?
An atom is stable when the number of protons equals the number of electrons, creating a balanced electrical charge. Additionally, stable atoms have filled outer electron shells that follow the octet rule, meaning they have eight electrons in their outermost shell.
An atom becomes and ion with a change of?
The number if electrons it has. Neutral atoms have the same number of protons (pos charge) as electrons (neg charge). When atoms gain or lose electrons (to become more stable), they become ions.
How do you find the number of protons if you already know the number of electrons and neutrons?
In stable atoms, number of protons = number of electrons. In positively-charged ions, number of protons = number of electrons + charge of the ion. In negatively-charged ions, number of protons = number of electrons - charge of the ion. Hope this helped! NO THATS A COMPLETE LIE. all you have to do is split the atom and look inside of it.
Atoms are more stable in their outer shell if they have?
A chemical stable atom is when it has the same number has electrons and protons. When the electrons and the protons are same it cannot react with any other atom till then and the atoms are called as inert atoms.
In atoms electrons and protons are in the same ratio or different ratio?
protons and electrons are identical in number in an atom
Atoms have the same number of?
Protons and electrons
Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?
Yes, most atoms do have more electrons than protons. This is because atoms are electrically neutral, and the number of protons (positive charge) in the nucleus is balanced by the number of electrons (negative charge) surrounding the nucleus.
What element is composed of atoms with the same number of neutrons or protons?
Ideally, all elements should have the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons unless they become ionic. This is how elements such as the noble gases remain stable. They the same number of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and a full octet.
How many atoms does electrons have?
Atoms have 1 to 118 electrons. For a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons (atomic number).
I understand that when two atoms align the more stable atom will provide the less stable with an electron But do atoms ever share protons or give each other protons rather then electrons?
