How is atoms different from ions?
Atoms are neutral particles that contain an equal number of protons and electrons. Ions are charged particles that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in an imbalance of protons and electrons. This charge difference gives ions unique chemical properties compared to atoms.
What are the subatomic particles that make a bond?
Atoms form bonds by sharing or transferring subatomic particles called electrons. These electrons are negatively charged and orbit the nucleus of an atom. Depending on how these electrons are shared or transferred, different types of chemical bonds can form, such as covalent or ionic bonds.
Which part or parts of an atom are responsible for bonding with other atoms?
Bonding between atoms occurs at the valence electron level. Core electrons and the atomic nucleus are unaffected.
Subatomic particles in chemical reactions?
Subatomic particles such as protons and electrons play a crucial role in chemical reactions. For example, protons determine the identity of an element, while electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds between atoms, leading to the creation of compounds. Understanding the behavior of these particles helps explain the fundamental principles of chemistry.
What is one way forces act on atoms?
Forces cause bonds to form.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Does light come from vibrating charged particles?
Yes, light is produced by accelerating charged particles, such as electrons, within atoms or molecules. When these charged particles change speed or direction, they emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light.
Are there particles in electricity?
Static electricity is stationary electrical charge. Electrical current is moving electrical charge. Electrical charge is held in charge carriers. In electrical wiring there is one type of charge carrier: electrons. Electrons are real particles from the conduction band of the metal atoms of the wire. These electrons are delocalized and form an "electron gas" that fills the bulk of the solid metal. In semiconductor electronics there are two types of charge carriers: electrons and holes. Electrons are negatively charged real particles from the conduction band of atoms in the semiconductor. Holes are positively charged virtual particles produced when electrons are missing from the valence band of atoms in the semiconductor. In vacuum tube electronics there is one type of charge carrier: electrons. Electrons are real particles that can move freely through the vacuum inside the tube envelope from the negatively charged cathode to the positively charged anode. In chemistry there are two types of charge carriers: negatively charged ions and positively charged ions. Negatively charged ions are atoms with extra electrons n their valence band. Positively charged ions are atoms with electrons missing from their valence band. Atoms are real particles. In plasma physics there is one kind of charge carrier: positively charged highly ionized atoms. Positively charged highly ionized atoms are atoms missing many (possibly all) electrons. Atoms (even their bare nuclei without any electrons) are real particles. In particle physics there are three charge states of a particle: negative, neutral, and positive. The negative and positive particles are charge carriers. So yes, there are particles in electricity. But then in Quantum Mechanics everything is both a particle and a wave at the same time.

How do atoms get a positive charge?
Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
What causes electricicty?
Everything you see, touch, or handle is made of atoms, and the atoms are collections of electrically charged particles. There's no easy way to get at the positively charged particles, because they're deep down in the atom, and they're quite immune to anything we can do to disturb them. But the negatively charged particles, called "electrons", are arranged in shells that form the outside of the atoms, and it's comparitively easy to break electrons free of their atoms. When that happens, you have electricity ... either a bunch of electrons all piled up in one place and not going anywhere, or a river of electrons flowing from one place to another.

)What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or loose charge?
ions
How does atoms become charged?
An atom becomes charged when it gains or loses electrons to form an octet.
What is most likely to form between elements transferring electrons to form oppositely charged particles?
Ionic bonds are most likely to form between elements transferring electrons to form oppositely charged particles. In an ionic bond, one atom loses electrons to become positively charged (cation) while the other atom gains electrons to become negatively charged (anion), resulting in the attraction between the two oppositely charged particles.
What is it called when gain of electrons or H?
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
A charged particle forms when an atom transfers electrons is an?
A charged particle that forms when an atom transfers electrons is an ion. An atom that loses an electron forms a positively charged ion called a cation; an atom that gains an electron forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.
