What is an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically changed?
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
How would you determine which of a group of atoms acquires the most negative charge in a covalent bond with hydrogen?
In a covalent bond neither group of atoms would gain any charge since the electrons are "shared" between two atoms.
What is inductive effect in organic chemistry?
The inductive effect is when atoms within molecules donate some of their charge throughout the molecule. For example, a strongly electron withdrawing group, such as a nitro group (NO2) or a carbonyl (CO), will draw electrons away from the rest of the molecule, making other atoms more positive. An electron donating group, such as a methoxide (OCH3) or just a methyl group (CH3) will donate their charges to other atoms within that molecule. A carbon with a methoxide group next to it will be delta positive (have a relative positive charge compared with a neutral carbon atom), whereas a carbon with a carbonyl next to it will be delta minus (have a relative negative charge compared with a neutral carbon atom).
An atom or group of atoms that carries an electric charge is called an?
Electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Ions occur when an atom looses or gains electrons. A normal atom is neutral, because it has the same number of positive protons and negative neutrons. When electrons are lost or gained, the atom can become positive (a cation) or negative (an anion). When an atom is positeve or negative, it is electrically charged.
A ketone bears a negative charge on what atom of the carbonyl group?
ketone bears negative charge on the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group.
What is polyatomic atoms?
a tightly bound group of atoms that behaves as a unit and has a positive or negative charge
What is it when a group of atoms have an electric charge?
Ions are formed when atoms have charges. Cations are species with positive charge. Anions are species with negative charge.
What is an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically changed?
When an atom or group of atoms becomes electrically charged, it is referred to as an ion. If it has a positive charge (+) it is called a cation, and if it has a negative charge (-), it is called an anion.
What is polytomic ion?
A Polyatomic ion is a covalently bonded group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge and acts as a unit
What is known as a polyatomic ion is a positively or negatively charge and covalently bonded group of atoms?
A polyatomic ion is held together by covalent bonds between atoms. They can be either positive or negative. For example, the ammonium ion, NH4+, has a positive charge, and the sulfate ion, SO42-, has a negative charge.
What have an electric charge of 1?
Atoms with charge are called ions. These ions have either gained or lost valence electrons to gain a net positive or net negative charge. Ions with a positive electrical charge of positive 1 (+1) are metals in the Alkali Metals Group and Hydrogen. Ions with a negative electrical charge of 1 (-1) are elements in the Halogen Group.
What is an atom or group of atoms that have a positive charge?
they are the cations
What is the difference between ions and electrons?
An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has an electrical charge from having either gained or lost electrons. An ion may have either a positive or a negative charge. An electron is a subatomic particle that carries a negative charge and is usually found in the orbitals of atoms and ions.
What is an atom called that has a positive or negative charge as a result of gaining losing electrons?
It's called an ion, and it simply means a charged atom (or group of atoms.)
What is the name of any atom or group of atoms with a negative charge?
Anion/Anions.
What does a neutral charge have?
It depends. Neutral atoms have numerous types and classifications. There are happy, sad, angry, and indifferent atoms in the neutral group. Also, isotonic and philanthropic atoms will always have positive charges. The contrapositives and monolithics always are negative.
Which charge is the DNA attracted to?
Since DNA has a phosphate group it has a negative charge and so it is attracted by a positive charge.
