1 In an electrically neutral atom the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of?
In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This only varies in ions, where electrons have been added to an atom or removed to create a full outer shell.
What is the overall charge on an atom?
The overall charge on an atom will depend on the ratio of protons to electrons in that atom. If the numbers match, the overall charge will be zero. It's a neutral atom. But if electrons have been "captured" or "loaned out" by the atom, an ion is created, and its charge will be negative if it has captured electrons, or positive if it has loaned out electrons. Charge will vary by integer amounts, i.e., the charge will be -1, -2, -3, etc. for the capture of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively, or +1, +2, +3, etc. for the loaning out of 1, 2, or 3 electrons, respectively. Simple and easy.
Are there the same amount of protons as there are of electrons in and atom?
NoYes. A neutral atom will have the same number of protons and electrons.
Total number of electrons in 3d orbital of Cr3 plus is?
Chromium's atomic number is 24. A neutral atom of chromium would thus have 24 protons and 24 electrons. Since we're dealing with Cr3+, though, we need to subtract 3 electrons from this number, giving us 21.

What is ioninc bonding?
It is a chemical process whereby one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom. This will create a negative charge in the atom from which the electron(s) have been removed, and a positive charge in the atom to which the electron(s) have become attached, resulting in a positive to negative attraction between the two atoms, which will then bond to form a molecule.

In which compound have electrons been transfered to the oxygen atom?
In the compound hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), electrons have been transferred to the oxygen atom, giving it a partial negative charge.
A 2-mm-diameter copper ball is charged to plus 50 nC What fraction of its electrons have been removed?
To find the fraction of electrons removed, we need to calculate the total charge of the copper ball when neutral, then compare it to the charge when +50 nC. Each electron has a charge of -1.6 x 10^-19 C. The number of electrons removed can be found by dividing the difference in charge by the charge of an electron. This will give us the fraction of electrons removed.

Is a molecule that has lost electrons been reduced?
OIL RIGOxidation Is Loss (of electrons)Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)So no, a molecule which has lost electrons has a positive charge and so has been oxidised
What is the difference in the number of protons and electrons in an atom?
The number of protons (each has charge = +1) in an atom identify the element, e.g. hydrogen (1 proton), helium (2 protons), etc. If the number of electrons is the same, then the atom is neutral (total charge = 0). For example, a lithium atom has three protons in the nucleus (charge = +3) and three electrons (charges -1,-1,-1). The total charge is +3 -1 -1 -1 = 0. If the number of electrons is different than the number of protons, as when lithium would lose an electron, we say the lithium atom has been ionized--it is now a lithium ion and the charge is +3 -1 -1 = +1. If the lithium ion loses another electron, we would say it is doubly ionized or twice ionized and the charge would be +3 -1 = +2.
Overall charge in a atom?
There are ways that atoms and molecules can gain or lose electrons. If an atom / molecule gains an electron, it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron, it will have a positive charge. That having been said, the standard charge of an atom should be neutral. An atom will always have a nucleus made up of a specific number of protons (and in most cases the same number of neutrons). The number of electrons will be the same as the number of protons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, the equal number of the two will balance each other off. The only item that can vary is the number of neutrons. When the number of neutrons is different from the number of protons, the atom is called an isotope. Since neutrons have a neutral charge, though, this has no effect on the charge of the atom.
What is the charge if you have more electrons?
the charge on an Ion is - if electrons have been added :)
