What else can I help you with?
Compare the number of electrons of a negative ion to that of the neutral atom include both negative ion and neutral atom in your answer?
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is an atom called when it no longer has a neutral charge?
An atom with no electric charge will be called a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, there is a balance of charges, and the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. It's really that simple. Compare this to atoms that have an imbalance of charges. These atoms are called ions.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion has gained one or more electrons to become negatively charged, while its parent atom is neutral with an equal number of protons and electrons. This means the negative ion has more electrons than its parent atom.
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that form?
The size of a negative ion is larger than atom. This makes more negative than positive, allowing the negative electrons to go farther from the nucleus.
How does the size ofa negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
It is larger, because it has gained electrons.
How does the size if a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
It will be have gained one electron. So, it will weigh 1/1875 unit more than the entire whole atom .
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
How do radii of positive and negative ions compare with atoms of the same element?
Small positive ion, Mid elemental atom, Large negative ion.
Compare the number of electrons of a negative ion to that of the neutral atom include both negative ion and neutral atom in your answer?
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is going to happen to the size of a positive ion as compared to the original atom?
The positive ion has donated an electron to another atom making the other atom a negative ion and much larger in radius. The positive ion is now much smaller in radius.
An atom is called an ion if there?
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
What is the difference of an atom or an ion?
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
What is an atom called when it no longer has a neutral charge?
An atom with no electric charge will be called a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, there is a balance of charges, and the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. It's really that simple. Compare this to atoms that have an imbalance of charges. These atoms are called ions.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
