How many valence electrons will hydrogen have after chlorine steals electrons?
The hydrogen ion H+ is without electrons.
How many valence electrons are in a hydrogen ion?
It depends on what kind of ion:If it's a cation (H+) then there is 1 proton and 0 electrons, so zero.If it's an anion (H-) then there is 1 proton and 2 electrons, so 2 (and that shell is full).
When the number of electrons changes the atom becomes what?
When the number of electrons changes, the atom becomes an ion. An atom becomes a positively charged ion (cation) when it loses electrons and a negatively charged ion (anion) when it gains electrons.
What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
When an element becomes an ion, it can either gain or lose electrons. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
How many valence electrons will hydrogen have after chlorine steals electrons?
The hydrogen ion H+ is without electrons.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes a sulfide ion?
A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.
How many electrons in the outer shell does hydrogen ion have?
no electron is present in the outer most shell of hydrogen ion
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When a atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an?
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
How many electrons are in the Na ion?
When sodium becomes an ion, it loses one electron to fulfill the octet rule. A neutral sodium ion has 11 electrons, so an ion will have 10.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
In order for an atom to become an ion it must due what?
An atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
An atom that has lost or gained electrons is an?
an ion
What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
An atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation) as it has more protons than electrons. On the other hand, when an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion) as it has more electrons than protons.
How do atoms become ions?
Atoms can become ions if one or more of the outer sheell electrons are knocked off by any external energy, say an X-ray, Gamma Ray or simple heat. Hydrogen is H-atom and H2 molecule. When it loses an outer shell electron it becomes H-1, that is a negatively charged ion. In case of Hydrogen, since there is only one electron in the s-shell, hydrogen ion is similar to a hydrogen nucleas. Read " Nature and property of Chemical bonds" by Linus Pauling.
