a cation
there is no such element
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
A version of an atom that has the normal number of protons but a different number of electrons is called an ion. If it has more electrons than protons, it is a negatively charged ion or anion. Conversely, if it has fewer electrons than protons, it is a positively charged ion or cation.
Neon has 0 valence electrons so it is not possible to have an element with fewer valence electrons. There can, therefore, be no such element.
Chlorine.
An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
there is no such element
Cl Chlorine
The element described is chlorine. It has 7 valence electrons, which is more than oxygen but fewer than neon. Chlorine has 17 protons, more than sodium but fewer than argon.
Yes. If it has fewer electrons that protons, it will be a positively charged ion, and if it has more electrons than protons, it will be a negatively charged ion.
Generally an atom has equal number of electrons and protons. and we know that electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged so atom is neutral. But when an atom loses electrons it acquires a positive charge. And this positive species is called cation.
This would be Sb - Antimony.
More electrons = negatively charged = anion Less electrons = positively charged = cation
The element described would be phosphorus. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons (more than oxygen) and 15 protons (more than sodium but fewer than argon).
It is a Cation, an ion with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge
Neon has 0 valence electrons so it is not possible to have an element with fewer valence electrons. There can, therefore, be no such element.
The element in question is magnesium. It has 12 protons (more than sodium and less than argon), 2 more valence electrons than oxygen (which has 6), and 8 fewer valence electrons than neon (which has a full valence shell with 8 electrons).
