a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
What else can I help you with?
Are atoms electrically charged particles?
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.
What is Thomson theory?
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.
What happenes to the charge of and atom when it gains electrons?
when atoms gain electrons they acquire negative 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.
Atoms which lose electrons and become electrically charged are called?
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.
What is a word for an electrically charged atom?
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.
What is an atom that is electrically charged?
An ion
How can you tell if an atom is electrically charged?
atoms r electrically charged cuz it has same no of positive charges ands negative charges. so atom is electrically nuetral.
What is the process called that changes a neutral atom into an electrically charged atom?
Ionization. An electrically charged atom is called an ion. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged atoms are called anions.
When an atom gains an electron it what?
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
Is the magnesium atom electrically neutral or electrically 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.
What element has 20 electrons when the atom is electrically charged?
Neon atom
What is the difference of an atom or an ion?
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
What is an atom or group of atoms that become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What does it mean when an atom is electrically charged?
it means that the atom has an electrical charge running through it
Is magnesium an ion?
Magnesium is an atom; but this atom can be transformed in an electrically charged atom - called cation, Mg2+.
When an atoms electrical charges are balanced the atom is electrically?
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).
