a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
An electron is a sub-atomic particle, not an atom. But it is electrically charged (it has a charge of minus one). The simplest atom, the hydrogen one isotope, has just one proton and one electron. An electron is a part of an atom. Every atom is composed of protons and electrons. Usually there are also neutrons. Protons are positively charged +1 and electrons are charged -1. Neutrons are neutral. When the number of protons and electrons are equal the atom is neutral. When an atom has an unequal number of protons and electrons it is charged either - or +. More electrons make it - and more protons make it +. In both cases the atom is called an ion.
An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electron embedded in it,The positive and the negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude, due to which an atom is electrically neutral. It has no over all negative or positive charge.
when atoms gain electrons they acquire negative charge
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
Ions, or more specifically Cations. When an atom loses an electron it becomes positively charged and is attracted to a cathode, hence the name cation.
An ion is a word for an electrically charged atom. Ions can be positively charged (cations) or negatively charged (anions) depending on whether they have lost or gained electrons.
An ion
atoms r electrically charged cuz it has same no of positive charges ands negative charges. so atom is electrically nuetral.
Ionization. An electrically charged atom is called an ion. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged atoms are called anions.
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
The magnesium atom is electrically neutral. It has 12 protons in the nucleus, which are positively charged, and 12 electrons surrounding the nucleus, which are negatively charged. The positive and negative charges balance each other out, resulting in an overall neutral charge for the atom.
Neon atom
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
it means that the atom has an electrical charge running through it
Magnesium is an atom; but this atom can be transformed in an electrically charged atom - called cation, Mg2+.
When an atom's electrical charges are balanced, the atom is electrically neutral. This means it has an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged).
