If there were no electrons, there would also be no solid matter. Atomic nuclei, if they could still exist in the absence of electrons, would repel all other atomic nuclei since they would all be positively charged, so the only state of matter that could exist would be some form of gas. Chances are, a universe made only of gas would be less interesting than the one we now inhabit.
If calcium lost two electrons, it would have the same number of electrons as argon. Calcium has 20 electrons in its neutral state, and losing two electrons would leave it with 18 electrons, which is the same as argon.
An atom with 12 protons and electrons would have 2 electrons in the first energy level and 10 in the second energy level. Therefore, it would have 2 valence electrons.
Sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) would form an ionic bond to create the compound sodium chloride (NaCl). In this bond, sodium transfers one electron to chlorine, resulting in Na and Cl- ions. The electrons are transferred, not shared, in an ionic bond.
The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost compared to its neutral state. Tungsten has 74 electrons in its neutral state, so if it has 68 electrons, it has lost 6 electrons and would have a charge of +6.
An atom with 3 electrons in level M would tend to either gain 5 electrons to complete level M or lose 3 electrons to complete the previous level. The tendency would depend on the element and its electronegativity.
If electrons went the opposite way they might change their polarity.
Then it would not be an atom, but a non-existing Carbon anion (-1, negatively charged)
If protons and electrons were not attracted to each other, atoms as we know them would not exist. The attraction between protons and electrons is what holds atoms together and allows for the formation of molecules. Without this attraction, matter as we know it would not be stable or structured.
When a positively charged object is grounded, electrons from the ground will flow into the object to neutralize the positive charge. This movement of electrons will cause the object to become neutral in charge.
there wont be any negative charges to balance the positive nucleus, hence atoms wont be stable
An atom with 2 electrons would be helium, an atom with 8 electrons would be oxygen, and an atom with 6 electrons would be carbon.
The contact with an atom having a high affinity for electrons.
X-rays do not consist of electrons. They are electromagnetic waves. Just like more energetic visible light waves that we can see.
If all the electrons in the human body were replaced with positrons, the positrons would annihilate with nearby electrons, creating gamma radiation. This would lead to immediate destruction of the body's molecular structure and result in a catastrophic event, causing severe harm or death.
It wouldn't happen. Negatives go to positives and vice versa.
If calcium lost two electrons, it would have the same number of electrons as argon. Calcium has 20 electrons in its neutral state, and losing two electrons would leave it with 18 electrons, which is the same as argon.
The tank would become positively charged. This means that is you dipped a wire in the fish tank and attached it to the ground, you would get a DC current as electrons move from the neutral (more negative, electron-rich) ground to the positive (more positive, electron-poor) fish tank.
