What is an ionized atom?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
How does an s2- ion differ from an electrically neutral sulfur atom?
An S2- ion has gained two electrons, giving it a 2- charge, while a neutral sulfur atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. This means that the S2- ion has two more electrons than a neutral sulfur atom.
What happens is an atom is ionized?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
How is a neutral atom negatively ionised?
An atom can become negatively charged when it gains electrons. It is then called an ion, more specifically, an anion. It has a net negative charge then because the negativity from the electrons is larger in magnitude than the positive charge from the protons in the nucleus. Some atoms can more easily gain electrons than others, and this is related to the electron affinity of the atom, which depends on which element it is. It takes energy to add electrons to neutral atoms, but by doing so, it can more easily form bonds which releases energy. This brings it to a more stable state.
Can atoms be ionized by being excited?
No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.
What is an ionized atom?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
How many electrons have with 97 protons?
An atom with 97 protons is an isotope of the element berkelium, which has an atomic number of 97. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so a neutral berkelium atom would have 97 electrons. If the atom is ionized, the number of electrons would differ depending on the charge of the ion.
Is it positive to identify an atom by the number of protons it has?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom positively identifies the element of which the atom is an example, whether the atom is neutral or ionized.
Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?
A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.
Do the number of electrons for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no it doesnt
Do the number of neutrons for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no. it will be same. only the number of electrons will differ

Do the atomic number for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.

When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
How do the particles in an atom differ in electric charge?
some is positive and some are negative and some are neutral and thats how there differ
How does the meaning of atom and ion differ?
An "Ion" is an atom that has gained or lost an electron and is therefore no longer electrically neutral.
