How many electrons does an ion of beryllium have if it has a -2 charge?
Beryllium is element 4, so the "neutral" atom would have 4 protons and 4 electrons. In order to have a "-2" charge, it would need 6 electrons.
If 2 electrons where added to oxygen atom what would be the charge?
All atoms have a neutral charge until they lose or gain electrons. Once they lose/gain electrons then they are considered ions. Gaining electrons- If atoms gain electrons then they are getting negatively charged particles making them have a negative charge. Losing electrons- If atoms lose electrons then they are losing a negative charge and they become a positively charged ion. Oxygen- Oxygen will have a negative charge before a positive charge because it needs only two electrons to have a stable valence level. For example, Oxygen will take the electrons from two Hydrogen atoms and make H20.
For calcium ca write the numbers of electrons it must gain or lose to have 8 vlance electrons then calculate the charge of the ion that would form?
Ca must lose 2 electrons to have a complete 3n shell, which has 8 valence electrons. The ion would have a charge of 2+: Ca^2+.
What is the mass number of an ion with 105 electrons 157 neutrons and a 1 charge?
You mean a charge of +1? That would mean that it has 106 protons. That element is seaborgium. The atomic mass, however, can be calculated by a combination of protons and neutrons. 106+157=263. The particle you speak of, seaborgium 157, has an atomic mass of 263.
If a calcium atom has 20 protons and 20 neutrons and 18 electrons what is the magnitude of it's charge in coloumbs?
Ca (2+) I think because since there are two less electrons then the charge would become positive.
An atom is an ion when the what and what are not balanced?
Since an ion is a charged particle it would have to be when the protons and electrons are not balanced(a different number of protons and electrons) This would be the only way to get a positive or negative charge since neutrons have no charge anyway.
Where would a particle with a positive charge be be found in an atom?
The subatomic particle that has a positive charge is called a proton. A proton can be found in the nucleus, the centre of the atom. Around the nucleus negative charged particles, called electrons, revolve at various speeds.
If a dust particle floated in the air near some free electrons that had been released by an electrostatic device what would happen?
The electrons would attract to the dust, thus making the dust have a negative charge. After this the dust will stick to any neutral object due to this new charge.
How many electrons are contained in 1C?
To find the number of electrons in a charge, you divide the charge by the charge of a single election. In this case it would be: -1C/(-1.6x1o^-19)=6.25x10^18 So 6.25x10^18 electrons are necessary to produce a charge of 1 C
The is the particle in the nucleus with a positive charge?
The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains both protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. The electrons, which have a negative charge are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
What is the opposition to electrons?
Another electron with the same negative charge would oppose (repel) it. So any negative ion would oppose it. If you need the oppositely charged particle then proton can be cited as an example having equal amount but opposite polarity of charge. If you like to know about the anti particle of electron then POSITRON is the right answer.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of what?
A neutal atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of an electron.
A subatomic particle that has a negitive charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. Anti-Protons can be synthesized in certain cases, and also have a negative charge, although they would not be part of normal matter.
What charge would an ion have if it had more electrons then protons?
The charge would be negative, since electrons are negatively charged.
What charge would nitrogen have if it gained 3 electrons?
Nitrogen would have a neutral charge and eight valence electrons.
