What happens to the charge of an atom if you take one electron away?
there would be a plus (+) charge. Electrons have a negative charge so when a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes positive. Another word for this is a cation.
Which radioisotope has an atom that emits a particle with a mass number of 0 and a charge of plus 1?
19Ne
How many electrons does an atom of lithium need to lose to form an ion with a plus 1 charge?
To form a 1+ ion a lithium atom must lose 1 electron. The same goes for any other atom.
What is the charge of electrons in an atom?
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic 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 happens when a hydrogen atom with a charge of plus 1 comes in contact with a chlorine atom with a charge of-1?
HCl is formed.

What particle in a atom lives in the nucleus and has a charge of 1 plus?
Proton
An atom that has plus 1 charge must have fewer what than usual?
Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.
What is the ion charge of a helium atom Is it plus 1?
Helium does not form ion.
Why does bromine commonly have -1 charge while potassium has a plus 1 charge?
Because of the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom.
Which radioisotope has an atom that emits a particle with a mass number of 0 and a charge of plus 1?
19Ne
How many electrons does an atom of lithium need to lose to form an ion with a plus 1 charge?
To form a 1+ ion a lithium atom must lose 1 electron. The same goes for any other atom.
What is the charge of electrons in an atom?
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
What charge is the atom?
-1
What is the electrical charge of a fluorine atom?
-1 charge
What kind of electric of charge does an atom have?
That depends on the number of protons and electrons present. One electron has a charge of minus one. A proton has a charge of plus one. Add charges to arrive at the charge of the atom total. Example: an H+ ion consists of a single proton, and has no electrons. Its charge therefore is +1.
