What else can I help you with?
Why cant you change the charge of an ion to make formulas?
You can't change the charge because that is changing the very chemical nature of the ion/atom. To make formulas with ions, you use subscripts to change the NUMBER of ions in the formula without changing the CHARGE.
Which atom or ion in each what pairs would you expect to be larger H or H?
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
Do the atomic number for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
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.
How atom change in to ion?
Well when an atom becomes an ion it either losses or gains and electron. When an electron is gained it makes the atom negative, but only if the amount of electrons is greater than the amount of protons, and when one is loss it is positive. When an atom becomes positive because of the loss of an electron it is called a Positive Ion.
How does a hydrogen ion change into an atom?
A hydrogen ion can change into an atom by gaining an electron. When a hydrogen ion, which is essentially a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron, gains an electron back, it will become a neutral hydrogen atom.
Does the atomic number changes when an ion is formed?
No, the atomic number remains the same when an ion is formed. The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in an atom, which does not change when an atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons.
Does changing the number of protons in a atom make an ion?
Yes, changing the number of protons in an atom would change the element, not necessarily create an ion. An ion is formed when the number of electrons in the atom changes, leading to a charged particle.
What could be done to change this carbide ion to a neutral carbon atom?
I cannot answer this question.
Why cant you change the charge of an ion to make formulas?
You can't change the charge because that is changing the very chemical nature of the ion/atom. To make formulas with ions, you use subscripts to change the NUMBER of ions in the formula without changing the CHARGE.
Would an ion be in an atom?
No.
What change will occur if an atom gains electrons?
The atom becomes a negative ion.
An ion that has a negative change is formed when an atom?
Eletron
How you can differentiate an atom from its ion?
The ion will have a charge, so if placed in an electric field it would accelerate while the atom would not react to it.
What change will occur if an atom loss electrons?
The atom will turn into an ion, specifically, a cation.
Which atom or ion in each what pairs would you expect to be larger H or H?
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
How could a fluorine atom change into a fluorine ion?
A fluorine atom can change into a fluorine ion by gaining one electron to achieve a full valence shell. This extra electron gives the fluorine atom a negative charge, transforming it into a fluoride ion.
