King Kong loses. Godzilla WINS! FATALITY!
What color is electricity?
Colorless ElectricityElectricity itself doesn't have a color. It a voltage and current created by magnets and coils. Electricity is a Electron potential (voltage - V) and/or Electron flow (current - I). Every thing out there is made out of Atoms, where the outside of any Atom is Electrons. When Electrons flow through a medium, it causes energy to be released by those Atoms in the medium, and some energy is lost from the Electrons. This is Electric Resistance (R). This energy is released as Photons [not Protons]. Photons are the light, Electromagnetic waves, the conjugate of Electrons. Photons are perpendicular to Electrons and have a wavelength. Photons have a colour and some Photons can be seen, if their wavelength is within the human vision. The wavelength of the Photons released depends on the Energy lost by the Electrons in flowing through that medium and the various characteristics of the atoms of the medium.
What is the similarities between atom element and molecule?
A sodium atom has one more electron than a neon. if the sodium atom lost the electron, its highest occupied energy level would contain eightelectrons. Sodium would now have the same stable electron as a neon atom.
Which power source directs these lost electrons through an electronic device to give it power?
A Battery.
What was the color of Monica's nail polish that she was wearing when she lost a nail in the lasagna?
She lost a fake blue nail. P.S: Love that show! She actually lost a fake blue nail in the quiches. In a different episode (I think the 2nd or 3rd) Rachel loses her engagement ring in the lasagna.
Are electrons in group 2 lost or gained?
They are lost. If it has a plus sign beside the ion charge, that means the atom loses electrons. But if it has a negative sign for the ion charge, that means that the atom gains electrons.
An atom that has lost or gained electrons is an?
an ion
When an atom loses an electron it becomes charged?
An atom has three charges: protons which are +, electrons which are - and neutrons which have neither. They balance each other out. If electrons are lost, the atom now has more protons and the atom becomes positive.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons causing an elctric charge?
An ion. Eg Na atom loses one electron to become Na+
An atom that has lost two electrons is called?
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
What is a particle that loses electrons and acquires a positive charge?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons and thus became a positively charged particle.
What charge will an atom have if it loses an electron?
As written, there's some ambiguity in the question, but the answer is probably "+2" assuming the atom was neutral to start with and that the two outer-shell electrons were the only electrons lost.
When an atom loses one or more electrons this atom becomes a?
An atom which has lost an electrons forms a positive ion which is called cation. ANSWER: ADDENDUM A nucleus does not loose an electrons it just has temporarily misplaced an electrons by am external force. That electron will be practically replace immediately by an electron from the next nucleus that is how electron current is generated and sustained
Why does an atom become a positive ion when it loses an electrons?
Electrons have negative charge. So when electrons is lost from an atom, the atom gets positive charge.
What Atom picks up or loses electrons and gains a charge?
An atom that has lost or gained an electron or electrons is called an ion. When an atom loses an electron, it forms a positive ion because the protons then outnumber the electrons. When an atom gains an electron, it forms a negative ion because the electrons now outnumber the protons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced "cat-ion" not "ca-shun.") A negative ion is called an anion (pronounced "an-ion" not "an-yun.")
What happens when a atom forms an ion?
The atom had either lost or gained one or more electrons forming and ion. Thus the ion has an overall electric charge.
