Yes. The ion "name" would be Zn3+ or Zn+3. Since Zinc loses electrons, its charge is negative

Why is the ion charge of iodine -1?

Iodine is a halogen (group 7 of the periodic table), and halogens are supposed to have seven valenced electrons to match the amount of protons in their nucleus. However, in order to form a full octet of valence electrons, iodine atoms are willing to accept one more electron. This electron brings iodine's charge down to -1. And unlike other halogens that are smaller than iodine (fluorine, chlorine, and bromine), iodine is large enough so that its negative charge can be distributed more evenly. This makes iodine stable with a negative charge, and a good leaving group in chemical reactions (something you will probably learn later on in organic chemistry).


What causes a charge separation in clouds?

The cloud starts of with a lot of protons and electrons. Soon enough, the electrons start to get pulled down in the cloud because of the protons on Earth. Also, it is electrons and not protons that get pulled down because protons are harder to move because they are in the center of the nuclei in an atom. In other words, the protons on Earth cause charge separation in clouds because opposites attract, and the protons on the ground pull the electrons down.


Why does a balloon stick to the celing when rubbed?

1. Rubbing the balloon to your hair causes the balloon to "steal" electrons from your hair. 2.The balloon has a buildup of electron so it has a negative charge. your hair has lost electrons so it becomes positively charged. 3.Because opposites attract the negatively charged balloon will stick or if there are enough electrons on the balloon they will try and "Jump" the wall and will make a small zap by:Zimran Reubin


What are the differences between a test charge and a point charge?

A point charge is an electric charge that is concentrated at one mathematical point with no spacial extent, A test charge is a charge that is small enough to have no effect on a system, but is used to study a property.


Will exposure to blue light cause electrons to be emitted from cesium?

Yes, exposure to blue light can cause the photoelectric effect in cesium, leading to the emission of electrons. Blue light has enough energy to overcome the work function of cesium, which allows electrons to be emitted from its surface.

Atoms gain electrons during chemical changes and have a what charge?

That depends on the chemicals. Theres not enough information to answer your question. Negative change


Why electric charge is produced in bodies by friction?

due to friction temperature increases and the valence electrons get enough energy to transfer from one body to the other. The body which loose electron get positive charge due to deficiency of electron and the body which gains electron become negatively charged due to excess of electrons.

Do have electrons negative charge?

Yes it does. If that isn't enough to blow your mind yet, then consider this:Every electron has exactly the same amount of negative charge.


How can you charge a balloon?

You can charge a balloon by rubbing it against a material that easily gives up electrons, such as wool or a polyester cloth. This process transfers electrons from the material to the balloon, giving it a negative charge.


Is gas hot enough to loose its electrons?

Yes, at high enough temperatures, gas can become ionized by losing its electrons. This process is known as ionization and results in the gas forming a plasma.


Why do the electrons jump in an electrostatic discharge?

Electrons jump in an electrostatic discharge because of a buildup of electric charge, creating a potential difference between two objects. When the potential difference becomes high enough, the electrons move rapidly to neutralize the charge imbalance, producing a visible discharge of electricity.


Why does an electric discharge occur?

It is because there are a build up of electrons on a material. If it is static it can be plastic or paper etc . The electrons are surplus to atomic requirements of the material so a negative charge will build up. If the charge is big enough the electrons will try and find a positive source to neutralise the charge. The only thing stopping it from doing so is the insulating material such as air


What is proof that all atoms contains electron?

Definitions are enough to prove it. An atom is a combination of protons, neutrons and electrons with a balanced electrical charge. Thus all atoms contain electrons.

Is lightning a high-voltage electric current?

Yes, the clouds become electrically charged and when there is excessive charge there is a big spark. The charge produces an electric field in the space under it, and when the field is high enough the gas atoms in the air break down, electrons are stripped off them and there is a plasma which conducts electricity. The charge in the cloud flows to join opposite charges on the ground. When charge flows there is an electric current.
