If you look at the structure of an atom you will see that the positive charges (protons), are secured in the centre (nucleus) of the atom along with the neutral charges (neutrons), while the negative charges (electrons) are situated in shells around the nucleus, and are therefore easier to get at.
What else can I help you with?
Why do smaller atoms exhibit higher ionization energy compared to larger atoms?
Smaller atoms have higher ionization energy compared to larger atoms because smaller atoms have a stronger attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons, making it harder to remove an electron from a smaller atom.
All compounds are neutral.?
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.
Do ionic compounds form positively charged ions?
No, ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The cations are positively charged due to losing electrons, while the anions are negatively charged due to gaining electrons.
What is a antonym for proton?
Electron is an antonym for proton. Electrons are negatively charged particles found in atoms, while protons are positively charged particles.
What is true of an atoms nucleus?
It contains Protons and Neutron's.
What is a positively or negativity charged atoms?
An ion is both positively and negatively charged.
Are positively and negatively charged atoms?
No, ions are.
What kind of charged does an atom have?
Atoms are neutrally, positively, or negatively charged.
What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?
When atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged, they form ions. Positively charged ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions.
Are atoms normally negatively charged?
No - atoms are always neutral. The number of protons is balanced by a equal number of electrons. Ions, on the other hand, may be positively or negatively charged, depending on whether they have lost or gained electrons.
Why do smaller atoms exhibit higher ionization energy compared to larger atoms?
Smaller atoms have higher ionization energy compared to larger atoms because smaller atoms have a stronger attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons, making it harder to remove an electron from a smaller atom.
What are positively and negatively charged atoms known as?
protons and neutrons i think.
Which type of compound is composed of negatively and positively charged atoms?
Ionic compounds are composed of negatively and positively charged atoms or groups of atoms. In these compounds, ions are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions. This creates a stable structure held together by electrostatic forces.
Does every atom have a negatively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons?
No. Every atom has a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.Unless you are talking about antimatter. The atoms of antimatter have negatively charged nuclei and surrounded by positively charged positrons
Are atoms are composed of?
atoms are made up of positively charged protons, negatively charged electrons and electrically neutral neutrons
Positively or negatively charged atoms?
are called ions - cations and anions.
Atoms that combine if they become positively or negatively charged have what bonds?
Ionic bonds.
