What is NO3 and NO4 stand for in chemistry?
NO3 means one nitrogen atom combined with 3 oxygen atoms to produce the nitrate ion. NO4 is one nitrogen atom combined with 4 oxygen atoms.
What does an aluminum atom become when it loses its three valence electrons?
It would become an Aluminum ion that has a 3+ charge
What is a charged atom?
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
How many protons are in a nitrogren atom?
there are 7 protons in each nitrogen atom.
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
When a nitrogen atom is converted into an ion what is the name of the ion?
It is called a Nitride Ion
Is An atom of Nitrogen with 7 protons 7 neutrons and 8 electrons an ion isotope or average atom?
It would be an ion.
What is the Formal charge of nitrogen atom in ammonium ion?
+1
What is the molecular geometry surrounding the nitrogen atom NH4 plus?
It is a tetrahedral structured ion, the central nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized.
An atom can become an ion by losing?
An atom can become an ion by losing electrons. It can accomplish the same thing by gaining electrons.
Is helium an isotope atom or ion?
Helium is a neutral atom that has several isotopes and can become an ion.
What elements are in magnesium nitride?
Nitride is an ion consisting of a single nitrogen atom with a 3- charge. This must be balanced by a positive ion, usually a metal ion. What metal it is can vary.
How do anion of nitrogen forms?
A nitrogen anion forms when a nitrogen atom gains three electrons, forming a nitride ion, N3-.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
When an atom loses a negative charge, when it loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
Does nitrogen become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?
No, nitrogen does not become a negative ion before bonding. Nitrogen typically forms covalent bonds, in which it shares electrons with other atoms.
