How many electrons would a neutral atom of cadmium have?
The neutral atom of cadmium has 48 electrons.
How many atoms in cadmium sulfide?
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) has two atoms.
Which species has 48 electrons?
Cadmium is the only neutral atom (not electrically charged) to have 48 electrons.
How many protons are there in the nucleus of a cadmium atom?
Cadmium has an atomic number of 48, therefore it has 48 protons in the nucleus and 48 electrons in the neutral atom. There are a number of isotopes (list from wikipedia article Cadmium) 106Cd 58 neutrons 108Cd 60 neutrons 111Cd 63 neutrons 112Cd 64 neutrons 113Cd 65 neutrons 114Cd 66 neutrons 116Cd 68 neutrons
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons.
How many electrons would a neutral atom of cadmium have?
The neutral atom of cadmium has 48 electrons.
How many atoms in cadmium sulfide?
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) has two atoms.
What change will occur if an atom gains electrons?
The atom becomes a negative ion.
Which subatomic particle changes when an atom becomes an ion?
When an atom becomes ionized, it gains or loses electrons (usually one).
When the number of electrons changes the atom becomes what?
When the number of electrons changes, the atom becomes an ion. An atom becomes a positively charged ion (cation) when it loses electrons and a negatively charged ion (anion) when it gains electrons.
How many atoms of Cadmium make one molecule of Cadmium?
One atom of Cadmium makes one molecule of Cadmium.
When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
Which species has 48 electrons?
Cadmium is the only neutral atom (not electrically charged) to have 48 electrons.
Who has the largest radius calcium atom or calcium ion?
The radius of a cadmium atom is smaller than the radium of a mercury atom. The trend for atomic radius is that the radius becomes larger toward the left side of the row and toward the bottom of the group.
How many protons are there in the nucleus of a cadmium atom?
Cadmium has an atomic number of 48, therefore it has 48 protons in the nucleus and 48 electrons in the neutral atom. There are a number of isotopes (list from wikipedia article Cadmium) 106Cd 58 neutrons 108Cd 60 neutrons 111Cd 63 neutrons 112Cd 64 neutrons 113Cd 65 neutrons 114Cd 66 neutrons 116Cd 68 neutrons
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
When the number of protons in an atom changes, the identity of the element changes because the number of protons determines the element's atomic number. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. This process is called nuclear fusion or fission.
