If a neutral atom of 22 protons how many electrons does an atom contain?
A neutral atom with 22 protons would have 22 electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) to balance the overall charge to zero.
If a neutral atom contains 18 protons how many electrons does it contain?
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will also have 18 electrons to maintain an overall neutral charge.
What is atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons?
This depends on the amount of Valence electrons. If the atom needs to gain electrons to have a stable energy shell, it is negatively charged. If it needs to lose electrons to have a stable energy shell, it is positively charged. The way you can tell is to look at the number of protons- that is the same as the number of electrons. Electrons form energy shells around the nucleus, which can contain 2 electrons in the first shell and 8 in all the ones going outwards. The valence electrons are the ones in the outermost shell. If you look at how many electrons your atom needs to lose or gain to become stable, you can determine whether or not it is positively or negatively charged. "different person" no dude u answered it wrong, if an atom has equal protons and electrons then it's neutral, or in other words have no charge. cause the charge of the protons are cancelled out by the charge of the electrons
How many electrons are in an oxygen ion with a charge of -2?
An oxygen ion with a charge of -2 has gained 2 electrons. Oxygen normally has 8 electrons, so with the addition of 2 electrons, the oxygen ion with a charge of -2 will have 10 electrons.
A neutral atom contains 5 neutrons and 4 protons. How many electrons does it contain?
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 4 protons would also have 4 electrons to maintain its neutral charge.
When an object has too many electrons what charge does it have?
When an object has too many electrons, it carries a negative charge. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so an excess of electrons on an object results in an overall negative charge.
If a neutral atom of 22 protons how many electrons does an atom contain?
A neutral atom with 22 protons would have 22 electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) to balance the overall charge to zero.
How many electrons does a neutral fluoride atom contain?
Fluorine is the name of the element and has 9 electrons. Fluoride is the name of the halide ion, carries a 1- charge and has 10 electrons.
How many electrons does promethium contain?
The neutral atom of promethium contain 61 electrons.
What creates a charge?
A lack of electrons causing a positive charge, or too many electrons causing a negative charge.
How many electrons would an atom of Oxygen need to have no charge?
Oxygen needs 8 electrons to have no charge.
What does an electric charge contain?
An electric charge contains information about the fundamental property of a particle that determines how it interacts with electromagnetic fields. Electric charges can be positive or negative, and they are a key factor in understanding how particles interact with each other through electromagnetic forces.
If a neutral atom contains 18 protons how many electrons does it contain?
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will also have 18 electrons to maintain an overall neutral charge.
How many electrons with a negative charge in darmstadtium?
Darmstadtium has 110 electrons.
A plasma must contain many what?
A Plasma must contain many ions and electrons.
Are we electrons?
No, though our bodies contain many of them
