What would be the charge of an atom with 6 protons and 4 electrons?
Each proton is a single positive charge. Each electron is a single negative charge. Therefore: 6 + (-4) = +2
What is the ionic charge of fluoride ion?
It is a single negative charge, so the fluoride ion is denoted F-. The fluorine atom gains one electron to incur a single negative charge of -1.
What is the ionic charge of CH3COO?
Ethanoate (Acetate) has a single negative charge, CH3COO-
What is the ionic charge for CN?
the cyanide ion has a single negative charge, CN-
If an atom has both positive and negative particles how can it be neutral?
The particles with charge within atoms are protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). The charge on a single electron is equal in magnitude to the charge on a single proton. Thus if there are equal numbers of protons and neutrons in an atom, the charge of that atom will be zero/neutral. For example, a carbon atom always has 6 protons (definitive of carbon). If it also has 6 electrons, it will be neutral! Oxygen atoms have 8 protons. If they also have 8 electrons, they will be neutral. The positive and negative charges cancel each other out. For example, with oxygen..... +8 for the protons and -8 for the electrons (remember each single proton's charge is equal in magnitude to that of a single electron's).......add them together and.......+8 + (-8) and you get 0. Neutral! (Atoms are not neutrally charged if they have different numbers of protons and electrons. If the number of protons and electrons differ in an atom, the atom is referred to as an ion.)
How many electrical charges are in protons?
A proton has single positive charge neutrons have no charge and a electron has a single negative charge
What is an electric monopole?
A single point charge, may be positive or negative.
How can atoms be neutral if they have charged particles?
because in their neutral state the number of positive particles is equal to the number of negative particles and the magnitude of a single positive charge is the same as the magnitude of a single negative charge in short the positive and negative charges cancel each other out
Are electrons positively charged?
Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charge and neutrons have no charge.
What would be the charge of an atom with 6 protons and 4 electrons?
Each proton is a single positive charge. Each electron is a single negative charge. Therefore: 6 + (-4) = +2
Is a proton a single charge of positive energy?
A proton is made of two Up Quarks with a 2/3 positive charge, and one Down Quark with a 1/3 negative charge. So this gives it a net charge of 1.
Describe the three types of small particles within an atom and explain how they are arranged?
Protons have a single unit of positive electrical charge (+) Electrons have a single unit of negative electrical charge (-) Neutrons have no electrical charge
Why does a free atom have no electrical charge?
A free atom has no electrical charge because it has an equal number of protons and electrons. Each proton has a single positive charge, and each electron has a single negative charge. These balance each other and the result is a net neutral atom (or no net charge).
What do you mean by charged and uncharged body?
Atoms normally contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. The amount of positive charge on a single proton is identical to the amount of negative charge on a single electron. So atoms and, therefore, the body from which they are formed, are normally neutral because the amount of positive charge is exactly countered by the amount of negative charge. A body acquires a charge if there is an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons within its atoms. If the electrons outnumber the protons, then the body acquires a negative charge; if the protons outnumber the electrons, then the body acquires a positive charge. The amount of charge is determined by the amount of imbalance between protons and electrons. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
What is the electrical charge of the chlorine ion?
A "cation" carries positive (+) charge. An "anion" caries a negative (-) charge. The charge carried in may be single or multiple.
How do you get the ion charge for nitrate?
Nitrate has a single, negative charge - NO3-
Who discovered that a single atom is consist of charge particles?
Niels Bohr, Denmark
