What else can I help you with?
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
Describe the three types of small particles within an atom and explain how they are arranged?
Protons have a single unit of positive electrical charge (+) Electrons have a single unit of negative electrical charge (-) Neutrons have no electrical charge
Explain why the electrical charge on an atom is zero or neutral?
since an electron is a negatively charged particle and a proton is a positively charged particle the positive and negative charges will cancel each other so the electrical charge on atom is zero.
Why does accepting an electron cause this atom to take on a partially negative charge?
Every electron has an electrical charge of minus one. If an electron is added to an atom, then the atom also acquires this electrical charge. If an electron is shared by an atom (by means of a covalent bond) then the atom will acquire a partial negative charge, since it doesn't have all of the electron or all of its charge.
What is the charge of an atom that has lost an electron?
This atom become a cation with a +2 electrical charge. All atoms have are neutral because the numbers of protons and electrons are equal. When you subtract any number n of electrons, the new charge is +n, just as a general rule.
Does an atom have an electric charge?
If there is an imbalance in the numbers of protons in electrons, then yes, an atom would have electrical charge.
What is the general overall charge of an atom?
A neutral atom hasn't an electrical charge.
What is the electrical charge of a fluorine atom?
A fluorine atom has a negative electrical charge of -1 due to its 9 protons and 10 electrons.
What is an atom that has an electrical charge?
Neutron .
Which particles in an atom have electrical charges?
The Electrons and the Protons.
Is an atom with the same number of electrons and protons the electrical charge is?
The atom is neutral,, there is no net charge
An ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to .?
Gained or lost electron(s).
An atom with electrical charge?
Any ion.
What is an atom that carries and electrical charge?
electron
What is A neutral beryllium atom?
A beryllium atom without electrical charge.
What is the particle in the nucleus of the atom with no electrical charge?
Neuton does not have any charge
Can a proton change the charge of an atom?
The electrical charge depends on electrons.
