<p><p>if the atoms lose electrons, the ions are relatively smaller than the regular one and they become positively charged. If the atoms gain electrons, the ions are relatively larger than the regular one and they become negatively charged.

Explain the difference between iron II nitrate and iron III nitrate?
Iron II nitrate contains an iron ion with a 2+ charge and has the formula Fe(NO3)2. Iron III nitrate contains an iron ion with a 3+ charge and has the formula Fe(NO3)3
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.
What is the Relationship between hydrogen bond and cohesion?
Hydrogen bonding is the attraction of H atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to O atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. But it is still strong enough to help the water molecules "stick" together.
Would the Br ion be bigger than the Se ion?
No. The Se ion will be larger than the Br ion. The more negative the anion's charge, the larger the radius (more electrons = stronger repulsion between the electrons; so, more distance between them). Se would become "Se2-" as an anion, and Br would become "Br1-". Because Se's "2-" anion charge is more negative than Br's "1-" anion charge, and because Se would have more relative electrons to protons than Br, there is more repulsion between electrons, and distance, within the Se ion. So, the Se ion has a larger radius. Hope it helps.
Explain how calcium and phosphate can make a compound with electroneutrality?
Ca has a charge of +2 and PO4 has a charge of -3. In order to cancel out the charges, you bond 3 Ca ionswith 2 PO4 ions and get Ca3(PO4)2
What are the relationships between electrolyte specific gravity freezing point and state of charge?
explain the relationship between electroyte specific gravity, freezing point, and state of charge
What is the relationship between cations and their atoms?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Anions have a negative charge.
What is relative in 'relative charge'?
Relative means that it is compared to something. For example, the relative charge of a proton is +1 and it is relative to that proton. The relative charge of an electron is -1 relative to protons. That means it is exactly the same, but opposite. The relative charge of an up quark is +2/3, and that means that the charge of that quark is 2/3 of the charge of the proton. It depends what it is compared to.
What is the relationship between electronegativity and core charge?
nothing
What is the relationship between time charge and current?
Yes current = charge / time = I = Q/t
What are the charges and relative masses of the main subatomic particles?
electron = relative charge = 1- relative mass = 1/1840 proton = relative charge = 1+ relative mass = 1 neutron = relative charge = 0 relative mass = 1
Distinguish between the subatomic particles in terms of relative charge and mass?
Proton: Charge= +1.60 x 10-19 C; Relative Charge=+1; Mass: 1.672 x 10-24 g; Relative mass= 1 amu Electron: Charge= -1.60 x 10-19 C; Relative Charge=-1; Mass: 9.05 x 10-28 g; Relative mass= amu ~(1/1840 amu) Neutron: Charge= neutral ; Relative Charge=0; Mass: 1.674 x 10-24 g; Relative mass= 1 amu
When atoms gains an electron it has a what kind of charge?
Negative = ] Protons have a (relative) charge of +1 Electrons have a (relative) charge of -1
What is the relationship between the number of hydrogen in an acid and the charge on the anion that they are combined with?
# of hydrogen ions in an acid is equal to the charge of the ion
What is the relative charge of a electron?
Protons have positive charge and electrons negative
What is the relation between energy and charge?
The relationship between energy and charge is potential difference or voltage. Where a volt is defined as existing between two points in an electric field when one joule of energy is required to move a charge of one coulomb between the two points.
Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?
As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge
