What is a charge in an atom?
An atom can either have a positive or negative charge, and a charged atom is called an ion. If an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes a positive ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion.
What is symbol of ion with 86 electrons 142 neutrons 4 charge?
This is the ion Th4+
What an atom that has gained or lost electrons causing an electric charge?
alphalpha
An ion that has a negative charge?
Chloride would be a negative ion in sodium chloride dissolved in water.
What is the loss or gain of an electron?
electrons... and thus one unit of negative charge....
What is the charge of a sodium ion with protons and 10 electrons?
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
A sodium ion has 11 protons and 10 electrons what is its charge?
+1
How is a sodium ion and a neon atom similar?
A sodium ion would have a charge on it, such as a positive charge, a cation, or a negative charge, an anion. Take your charge to be Na+1. This means that sodium is missing one electron, thus having one more proton giving it a positive charge. Na normally has 11 electrons, but this plus one knocks it down to 10. Neon at a neutral charge has 10 electrons. So, a sodium ion and neon atom have the same number of electrons (but only if the Na ion is +1 charge).
What is the number of electrons in sodium?
There are a total of 11 electrons in Sodium.
What is the total charge of 4 sodium ion?
Na+4
Infer Magnesium and sodium atoms are about the same size How does the size of a magnesium ion with a 2 charge compare with that of a sodium ion with a single charge?
The sodium ion will be larger. Because magnesium has one more proton than sodium, its nuclei pull harder on the electrons, reducing the ion's radius. This means that the magnesium ion is smaller.
How do a sodium atom and a sodium ion differ?
A sodium atom contains eleven electrons and has a net neutral electrical charge, because the atom also contains eleven protons. A sodium ion contains only ten electrons and has an electrical charge of +1, because it also contains 11 protons.
Does the sodium ion and the neon atom have the some atomic number number of electrons number of charge?
The sodium ion has one more proton than neon and 2 more neutrons. It has a positive charge where neon is neutral but they both do have 10 electrons
Sodium forms an ion with a charge of what?
Sodium ions have a charge of 1+
What is the charge of of a sodium ion?
The charge of a sodium ion is +1.
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
What is the charge of a positive sodium ion?
The charge of a positive sodium ion is +1 C.
