The number of protons in the nucleus will always be the same, and therefore so will the number of electrons. The number of neutrons may vary, forming naturally occurring isotopes.

Every atom of iron will have the same physical properties.

What do all nickel atoms and ions have in common?

All nickel atoms and ions share the same atomic number, which is 28, meaning they all have 28 protons in their nuclei. This characteristic defines them as nickel, regardless of whether they are neutral atoms or charged ions. Additionally, nickel atoms and ions have similar chemical properties due to their configuration of electrons, particularly in their outer shells, which influences their reactivity and bonding behavior.


What is the difference between iron and iron oxide?

Iron is a grayish metal made entirely of neutral iron (Fe) atoms. It is a pure element. There are three main variants of iron oxide, all of which are compounds containing iron and oxygen in the form of ions. Iron III oxide (Fe2O3) contains Fe3+ ions and O2- ions and is a reddish powdery or flaky substance. It is the main component of rust. Iron II Oxide (FeO) contains Fe2+ ions and O2- ions and is a black crystalline solid. Iron II,III oxide (Fe3O4) contains Fe 2+, Fe 3+, and O2- ions and is usually a black, powdery substance.


Name some of the metal ions?

All metals can be ions. Therefore the name of any metal can be the name of it's element and it's ion. Eg: iron in iron sulphide.


What do an atom, ion, and isotope have in common?

Atoms, ions, and isotopes are all forms of the same element. They all have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.


Are ions found in many different substances?

All atoms can become ions, but in most it is rare


What do an atom, ion, and isotope of an element have in common?

Atoms, ions, and isotopes of an element all have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.


What do all of the polyatomic ions with the suffix -ate have in common?

Polyatomic ions with the suffix -ate typically contain one or more oxygen atoms. These ions often form from the combination of a central atom with oxygen and other elements, creating a negatively charged ion with a specific overall charge.


What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?

All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.


What do all irons and ions have in common?

The number of protons is identical.


How do the particles behave in the reaction between iron and sulphur?

The iron atoms absorb enough energy to lose three electrons each and become iron(III) ions. The octa-atomic sulphur molecules absorb enough energy to become sulphur atoms. These atoms each gain two electrons to become sulphide ions with a -2 charge each. Since electrons are conserved, 1½ times as many sulphur atoms so react as do iron atoms. These ions now form a solid and give up energy. The overall process gives up energy (enough so that some of the solid goes off as a smoke).Depending on how far you are in chemistry, you could get by with this explanation, or you could discuss whether the iron(III) sulphide formed is a simple ionic solid as described or something a bit more complicated.


Are iron atoms small or big?

Like all atoms they are tiny. Compared with other atoms, iron atoms are of medium size.


What do element and mixture have in common?

The commonalities that elements, compounds, and mixtures all have in common is that they all contain atoms. Even though they all contain atoms, the number of atoms vary in each of them.
