What else can I help you with?
When a neutral atom captures a free electron what is the net charge on the atom?
The charge of an atom who captured a single elektron is - or -1
Is a hydroxide ion positive charge?
No. The hydroxide ion has a negative charge as do all ions ending in -ide, -ite, or -ate.
What do we call an atom that has an overall positive charge?
An atom with an overall positive charge is called a cation. Cations are formed when an atom loses electrons, leaving it with fewer electrons than protons, resulting in a net positive charge.
The number of what identifies whether an atom carries a charge ion or is neutral?
Electrons An atom that becomes stripped of any given number electrons becomes an ion. That is my understanding. :-)
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
What net charge does a sodium atom have?
A sodium atom has a net charge of zero. A sodium ion has a net charge of 1+.
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
Is the net charge of an atom always zero?
The net charge of an atom is always zero, because if an atom gains or loses electrons, causing it to acquire a net charge, we then call it an ion, rather than an atom.
What is an atom or a group of atoms having a net electrical charge?
It is an ion.
Does an ion atom or molecule have an electric charge?
Yes, an ion is an atom or molecule that has an electric charge. This charge is due to the loss or gain of electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
When a neutral atom captures a free electron what is the net charge on the atom?
The charge of an atom who captured a single elektron is - or -1
What is one atom ion called?
A one-atom ion is called a monatomic ion. It is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
What is the an ion?
an ion is an atom or gruop of aoms which has acquired the net nagitive charge by givein or accepting the electrons
What is an atom that has more of fewer electrons than protrons?
Such an atom has a net electric charge, and is known as an ion.
Is a hydroxide ion positive charge?
No. The hydroxide ion has a negative charge as do all ions ending in -ide, -ite, or -ate.
