This is a polyatomic ion.

Sounds like a negative ion like SO4 -- (double ionized sulfuric acid)

Which two subatomic particles have charges that attract to each other?

Proton (+) and Electron (-). Proton carries the positive charge particle of the atomic nucleus while the electron is negatively charged particle that occupy the space around an atomic nucleus.


What is the electrically neutral particle in the nucleus called?

The electrically neutral particle in the nucleus is called a neutron. Neutrons have no electric charge and contribute to the stability of the nucleus by balancing the repulsive forces between positively charged protons.


What is nonmetallic peorid 3 atomic mass 32?

The element you are referring to is phosphorus with the atomic number 15 and atomic mass 30.974. It is a nonmetallic element that exists in several allotropic forms, including white phosphorus and red phosphorus. It is essential for life and is commonly found in compounds such as DNA, RNA, and ATP.


What subatomic particle in an atom is held together by a strong force?

Protons and neutrons in an atom are held together by the strong force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in nature. This force helps bind these subatomic particles together in the nucleus of an atom despite their like charges.


What has a negative electrical charge?

Any atom is predominantly neutral as it should contain the same number of protons (a positively charged sub-atomic particle) and electrons (a negatively charged subatomic particle orbiting the nucleus in shells).An ion is a charged particle; aka, an atom that has lost/gained electrons. If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged as there are now more protons in the atom than electrons.For example, Lithium has 3 electrons, 3 protons and is in group 1. It only needs to lose it's outer electron to become it's closest Noble gas state and have a full outer shell. If it were to lose it's outer electron, then it would become positively charged as it now has 2 electrons and 3 protons; more positive charge than negative.If an atom were to gain an electron, it would become negatively charged as it now has more electrons than protons.For example, Fluorine has 9 electrons, 9 protons and is a Halogen (group 7). It only needs to gain one electron to become it's closest Noble gas state and have a full outer shell. So, if it were to gain this one electron, it would become negatively charged as it now has 10 electrons and only 9 protons; more negative charge than positive.When talking about ions, neutrons take no place in charge changes as they are neutral.

What mineral has nonmetallic luster and it is black?

There is not enough information to go on. Many minerals fit this description, especially since there are several types of nonmetallic luster.


Is an alpha particle lighter than an electron?

No, an alpha particle is not identical to an electron. An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, and it's composed of a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons fused together. It several thousand times the mass of an electron, and has twice its charge with an opposite sign (+2). An electron is that little negatively charged (-1) elementary particle that we find whizzing around atoms. You'll find a pair of related questions linked below.


What holds an atom together?

An atom is held together by the strong nuclear force, which overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons in the nucleus. This force keeps protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, while electrons are attracted to the nucleus by the electromagnetic force.


What do you call a element that gives a ringing sound when hit?

A metal. Other elements In the periodic Table are gasses, or are nonmetallic, and therefore will not ring when struck. Glass does not count. It is a mix of several elements molten together, though frozen metals are referred to as a glass.

Is the negative meson the same as the beta particle?

No. Beta particles are electrons (sometimes positrons, the antiparticles of electrons, are referred to as betas also). "Negative meson" is not a specific particle. It would be a type of particle which is a) a meson, or two-quark hadron, and b) negatively charged. There are several particles which fit that description, but none of them are electrons (or positrons), which are not hadrons but leptons (a type of elementary particle, not made up of quarks at all). --------------------------------------------------------------- No, a beta particle is an electron or positron. Mesons are not produced by radioactive decay, but appear in nature only as short-lived products of very high-energy interactions in matter and are composed of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by the strong interaction. Charged mesons decay (sometimes through intermediate particles) to form electrons and neutrinos. Uncharged mesons may decay to photons.


How many nonmetallic solid elements?
