How is a coordination number determined?

The number of opposite charge that surround each ion in a crystal.


What has an electric charge?

An electrical charge occurs when the number of protons in a nucleus differs from the number of electrons surrounding that nucleus.


Another name for positive charge?

The usual term is "positron." It's the antiparticle of an electron, having the same mass but opposite charge and opposite "electron number".


The overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons?

No, the opposite is true.


Why is an atom neutral dispite having charged partricals?

The charge of the protons is exactly opposite to the charge of the same number of electrons.


Is NaCl an atom or molecule?

Neither. NaCl is an ionic compound and does not form molecules. It forms a crystal lattice in which every ion is surrounded by six ions of opposite charge. The formula NaCl is a formula unit which gives the simplest whole number ratio of ions in the compound.


What is the net charge on n type n p type?
