True. Isotopes are defined by the amount of neutral neutrons which have no effect on the polarity of the atom. ions are defined by a differing amount of protons and electrons, therefore charging them.

True or false what particle formed from the covalent bonding of atoms is called ions?

False. Ions are formed from the loss or gain of electrons by atoms, resulting in a charged particle. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.


Are ions and isotopes charged?

Not necessarily no, not strictly speaking, but it can be. An Ion is a charged particle. As an example SO42- is an ion. It is not a charged atom. It is a charged species formed from 5 atoms. A lone proton (H+ ) is a charged atom of hydrogen after it has been stripped of one electron. Cl- is an ion and in this case yes - it is a charged atom.


True or false Metals are made up of cations not neutral atoms?

True. Metals typically form cations by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in a positively charged ion that is attracted to negatively charged species, such as nonmetals or other negative ions.


In a ionic compound atoms remain neutral true or false?

True. In ionic compounds, atoms transfer electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions), but the total charge of the compound remains neutral.


Are radioactive isotopes are used in medicines or power plants and tracers true of false?

true


The atomic number of isotopes is determined by the number of atoms. true or false?

False. Number of neutrons.


Is it true or false molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because no charged ions are present?

True. Molecular compounds that dissolve in water do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into charged ions when dissolved. Since they do not produce free ions that can carry an electric current, they are unable to conduct electricity in aqueous solutions.


Is most atoms have more electrons than proton false or true?

False. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. This balance between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is what keeps the atom electrically neutral.


Is it true or false that binary ionic compounds are composed of metal and nonmetals typically from opposite sides of the periodic table?

True. Binary ionic compounds consist of a positively charged metal ion and a negatively charged nonmetal ion. These ions usually come from opposite sides of the periodic table.


True or false unstable atom that decomposes and emits energy is called retroactive?

No, it's called "radioactive." "Retroactive" is something that's active in regards to the past.
