Does an element that loses 3 electrons have a charge of plus 2?
If an atom loses 3 electrons, it gets a charge of +3. (One positive charge for every electron lost). If an atom loses 2 electrons, it gets a charge of +2.
Will an object become positivley or negatively charged if it gains electrons?
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
How does an atom become positive?
An atom can become positive if it loses an electron. For example if the atom had five protons and five electrons, then loses an electron, it would have more protons making it more positive than negative.
When an atom loses one or more electrons does the radius of the atom become smaller or larger than the radius of the atom?
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes smaller in size because there are fewer negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud to balance the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus. This results in a stronger attraction between the remaining electrons and the nucleus, causing the electron cloud to contract and the overall radius of the atom to decrease.
Is calcium positive or negative charge?
Remember the talk about the "outer electrons" you learned about? Sodium (Na) has 1 electron in the outer most electron orbital. Calcium (Ca) has, you guessed it, 2 electrons in its' outer most electron orbital. Can you explain the rest to yourself? Remember they had a neutral charge before becoming ionic.
When a sodium atom loses one valence electron it gets a charge of what?
1+
When an atom loses an electron what happens to the atoms charge?
it gets a postive charge hope this helps good luck
What happens to the charge of an atom that loses electrons?
it gets positive charge
What is the charge of a bromine atom when it gets an electron?
One electron
Does an element that loses 3 electrons have a charge of plus 2?
If an atom loses 3 electrons, it gets a charge of +3. (One positive charge for every electron lost). If an atom loses 2 electrons, it gets a charge of +2.
Why does an atom become a positive ion when it loses an electrons?
Electrons have negative charge. So when electrons is lost from an atom, the atom gets positive charge.
Will an object become positivley or negatively charged if it gains electrons?
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
When a atom gets a positive or negative charge which subatomic particle number has changed?
When an atom gains a positive charge, it loses an electron(s), resulting in more protons than electrons. When an atom gains a negative charge, it gains an electron(s), resulting in more electrons than protons.
How does an atom become positive?
An atom can become positive if it loses an electron. For example if the atom had five protons and five electrons, then loses an electron, it would have more protons making it more positive than negative.
Is a atom that loses electrons have a negative charge?
if it can lose an electron it will have a positive charge. to begin with in a neutral state it has no charge it has an equal amount of protons (positively charged) in the nucleus as it has electrons (negatively charged particles) around the nucleus. Hence in loosing an electron the balance shifts to a positive over all charge. not all elements can become ions like this.
Can an object get charged from stretching?
No, stretching an object will not cause it to become electrically charged. Charging an object requires the transfer of electrons. Stretching changes the shape or size of an object but does not result in the accumulation of electric charge.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
