P(3-) is an anion.
It is used to determine the electron configuration of an atom, molecule or ion.
A polyatomic ion.
The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.
An atom. It not REALLY indivisible, but it is the fundamental building block of molecules.
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
a molecule is more than one atom attached together, an ion is an atom/molecule where the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons in the nucleus
ion
A molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion is called a ligand. Ligands can donate pairs of electrons to the central metal atom or ion, forming coordinate covalent bonds.
Sorta, a molecule can neither be positive or negative and atom can only be an ion when in an ionic bond when it received or gave electrons.
When an atom of phosphorus gains three electrons to become a phosphide ion (P3-), it will have a larger radius compared to the neutral phosphorus atom. This is because the additional electrons will occupy outer electron shells, leading to increased electron-electron repulsion and the expansion of the ionic radius.
Carries an electric charge
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
Most probably 10 electrons as a phosphide ion with 3-charge has 8 valence electrons.
A sodium (Na) atom is neither an ion nor a molecule. It is a single, neutral atom with 11 protons in its nucleus and 11 electrons orbiting around it. An ion is when an atom gains or loses electrons to become charged, and a molecule is a combination of atoms bonded together.
A water molecule with an extra hydrogen atom is called a hydronium ion (H3O+). This ion is formed when a water molecule gains a proton, becoming positively charged.
This species is known as a ligand.
