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 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).
Is sulfur an atom or An ion?
ion
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
What is one atom ion called?
A one-atom ion is called a monatomic ion. It is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
Which particles affect the charge of an atom or ion?
The particles that affect the charge of an atom or ion are electrons and protons. Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. The number of electrons and protons in an atom or ion determines its overall charge.
The number of what identifies whether an atom carries a charge ion or is neutral?
Electrons An atom that becomes stripped of any given number electrons becomes an ion. That is my understanding. :-)
What is the definition of a ligand as used in chemistry?
Ligand is an atom, ion, or molecule that donates or shares one or more of it's electrons through a covalent bond with a central atom or ion. It is a complexing group in coordination chemistry that stabilizes the central atom and determines it reactivity.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
What a ion?
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
When an atom becomes an ion does it affect its posistion in the periodic table?
No, absolutely not. The ion still has the same number of protons, which determines the element's position on the periodic table. The periodic table always stays the same.
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).
What do an atom, ion, and isotope of an element have in common?
Atoms, ions, and isotopes of an element all have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.
Is the oxidation number of an ion equal to the number of valence electrons the ion contains?
Yes, the oxidation number of an ion is equal to the number of valence electrons the ion contains. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, and they are involved in forming chemical bonds, which also determines the oxidation state of an ion.
Is sulfur an atom or An ion?
ion
Which subatomic particle determines what element the atom is?
The proton. Usually the number of protons and electrons are the same (in a neutral atom), but if the atom is an ion and has a charge, then the numbers will be different (and the difference will be the ion's charge, positive or negative depending on which number is higher.) There can be isotopes of the same element with differing numbers of neutrons. But as long an atom has 12 protons, even if it has 500 neutrons and elections (no, that won't happen), it's always still a carbon atom.
