That is exactly what a definition of an ion is. Ion's have charges. That's what they are. WHY? They lose or gain electrons.
By GAINING an electron, you have a negative (-) charge.
By LOSING an electron, you have a positive (+) charge.
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
Compounds can be neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged. The overall charge of a compound depends on the balance between the positively and negatively charged ions or atoms that make it up.
True. In ionic compounds, atoms transfer electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions), but the total charge of the compound remains neutral.
Atoms are neutral particles that contain an equal number of protons and electrons. Ions are charged particles that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in an imbalance of protons and electrons. This charge difference gives ions unique chemical properties compared to atoms.
Can atoms become neutral and howAtoms are already neutral because they have both protons which are positive charged and electrons which are negatively charged. it has to be nueral because of the the same number of both negative and positive particles.
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
Ions are formed when neutral atoms are either losing electron(s) or gaining electron(s) and thus are transformed to either positively or negatively charged ions.
Because there positive :P
An atom that is no longer neutral has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. A positively charged atom is called a cation, while a negatively charged atom is called an anion. These charged atoms are called ions.
Atoms are neutral. Ions can be charged, either positive or negative.
Charged atoms are called ions.
the positive and negative energy is no longer in balance causing the atom to become an ion+ or an ion-
a charged group of two or more nonmedal atoms is called a?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
by definition, ions are charged atoms. so a neutral ion doesn't exist
Compounds can be neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged. The overall charge of a compound depends on the balance between the positively and negatively charged ions or atoms that make it up.
