What else can I help you with?
The number of electrons orbiting an atom usually equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
Yes, the number of electrons orbiting an atom is typically equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. This balance is essential for an atom to be electrically neutral.
Are electrons the positively charged particles in an atom?
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
The overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons?
No, the overall charge of an atom is negative only if the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. An atom becomes negatively charged when it gains extra electrons, causing an imbalance in the positive charge of the protons and the negative charge of the electrons.
When the number of protons and electrons are the same the atom is neutral?
Yes, that is correct. An atom is neutral when the number of protons in the nucleus (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons orbiting around the nucleus (negative charge), balancing out the overall charge to zero.
Is true in regard to ions A. Losing one or more electrons will turn an atom into an anion. B. An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons. C. A cation will H?
- An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.- Hydrogen form the cation H+.
What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?
The number of protons must equal the number of electrons in an atom for it to have no charge. Protons are positively charged particles, and electrons are negatively charged particles. A balanced number of protons and electrons results in an atom with a neutral overall charge.
If an atom has 49 protons how many electrons does it have?
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.
The number of electrons orbiting an atom usually equals the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom?
TRUE
Is it true that the unequal sharing of electrons occur when an atom's protons have a greater pull on the shared electrons?
no
Is it true that the size of an atom depends on the number of electrons protons and neutrons present in the atom?
Yes, the size of an atom is primarily determined by the number of electron shells it has, which is influenced by the number of protons and electrons. The protons and neutrons, located in the nucleus, contribute to the mass of the atom but have negligible impact on its size.
The number of electrons orbiting an atom usually equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
Yes, the number of electrons orbiting an atom is typically equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. This balance is essential for an atom to be electrically neutral.
Is it true that if an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons the rentire atomis electrically neutral?
Yes, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral. If an atom has a different amount of protons and electrons it is electrically charged, and is called an ion, rather than an atom.
Atoms always have the same number of electrons as they have protons?
This is true. That is why a atom is neutral. An atom becomes an Ion when the charges are + or -
Are electrons the positively charged particles in an atom?
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
The overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons?
No, the overall charge of an atom is negative only if the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. An atom becomes negatively charged when it gains extra electrons, causing an imbalance in the positive charge of the protons and the negative charge of the electrons.
When the number of protons and electrons are the same the atom is neutral?
Yes, that is correct. An atom is neutral when the number of protons in the nucleus (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons orbiting around the nucleus (negative charge), balancing out the overall charge to zero.
Is it true that the number of electrons in an element is the same for all neutral atom of that element?
Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.
