What else can I help you with?
Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
What is the difference between an element and its ion?
An element is made up of atoms with a specific number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. An ion is a charged particle formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. Ions have a different number of electrons compared to their parent element, leading to differences in chemical behavior.
Does changing the number of protons in a atom make an ion?
Yes, changing the number of protons in an atom would change the element, not necessarily create an ion. An ion is formed when the number of electrons in the atom changes, leading to a charged particle.
How specifically are positive and negative ions formed?
A positive ion (cation) is formed by removing electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms until there are fewer electrons than protons. A negative ion (anion) is formed when an atom or group of atoms gains electron(s) until there are more electrons than protons. Only non-metals form negative ions - this ability (to gain electrons) is intrinsic to the nature of non-metals. Only metals form positive ions - this ability (to lose electrons) is intrinsic to the nature of metals.
How was hydrogen formed?
Hydrogen was formed in the early universe through a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis, where protons and neutrons combined to form hydrogen nuclei. It is the most abundant element in the universe, created during the first few minutes after the Big Bang.
Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
What are the elements that formed the calcium?
Calcium is an element, which means that it is made up protons/electrons and neutrons. Each calcium atom contains a total of 20 protons/electrons, and 20 neutrons.
What makes a compound and an element?
A chemical compound is formed from chemical elements.A chemical element is formed from atoms; atoms contain an atomic nucleus (protons and neutrons), electrons and...vacuum.
What are the three parts of element?
Electrons and the atomic nucleus; the nucleus contain protons and neutrons (which are formed from quarks and gluons).
How are monatomic anions formed from atoms in terms of protons and electrons?
Monatomic anions are formed when atoms gain one or more electrons. The number of protons in the nucleus remains the same, giving the atom a net negative charge due to having more electrons than protons.
What is the difference between an element and its ion?
An element is made up of atoms with a specific number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. An ion is a charged particle formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. Ions have a different number of electrons compared to their parent element, leading to differences in chemical behavior.
Why cant a 3 ion of aluminum be made by adding 3 protons to an aluminum atom?
Adding protons changes the element, creating a new element with a different atomic number. The element with 3 protons is not aluminum, so adding 3 protons would create a different element rather than a 3+ ion of aluminum.
What do you get when the number of protons and electrons in your model is not equal?
Cations are formed if electrons are less. Anions are formed if electrons are more.
When a neutron star is formed what particle is produced by the combining of the protons and electrons?
When a neutron star is formed, protons and electrons are crushed, they collide and become neutrons.
What particles is the atom formed of?
Atom is formed of electrons, protons and neutrons.
What type of bond can be formed with an element of 17 protons and 17 protons?
A covalent bond; chlorine is found as Cl2.
Does the amount of protons an element has affect chemical bonding?
Yes and no; the number of protons determine the valance number of electrons. The valence level of electrons and how full/empty it is largely determines an elements chemical behavior. I would say that valence electrons are the main determinant, but that is predetermined by protons.
