What has 5 protons 6 neutrons 2 electrons 3 electrons?
The description appears to contain an inconsistency in the number of electrons. An atom typically has the same number of protons and electrons, making it neutral. If an atom has 5 protons, it is boron, which usually has 5 electrons. However, if it has 2 electrons, it would be a boron ion with a +3 charge, and if it has 3 electrons, it would be a boron ion with a +2 charge.
How many electrons does Boron have in a electron cloud?
A boron atom has 5 electrons in its electron cloud. Boron has an atomic number of 5, meaning it has 5 protons and normally 5 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons.
Where do you look to find the charge on an atom?
The charge on an atom can be found by looking at the number of protons and electrons it contains. If the atom contains more protons than electrons, it will have a positive charge, and if it contains more electrons than protons, it will have a negative charge.
Why if you take an electron way from another the atom shows up positive?
If you take an electron away from an atom that is neutrally charged (has no charge) then because electrons are negatively charged the atom will become positive. For example if you have 5 protons 5 neutrons and 5 electrons then the electrons and protons cancel one another out. (+5-5=0) take away an electron and there are only four electrons and five protons leaving one positively charged molecule making the atom positive. (+5-4=+1)
How many charge clouds are found around the central atom in SCl4?
there are 5 charge clouds found around the central atom in SCl4
If an atom has 5 protons and 7 electrons what is the charge of the atom?
its charge is 0. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge (neutrons have no charge at all). So ten protons will balance out ten electrons, making the net charge 0.
What is the chargeof an atom of boron?
The charge of an atom of boron is neutral because it has 5 protons (positive charge) and 5 electrons (negative charge), making the atom overall neutral.
What is the total charge of an atom with 4 protons 3 neutrons and 5 electrons?
The total charge of an atom is calculated by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. In this case, the atom has 4 protons (positive charge) and 5 electrons (negative charge), resulting in a net charge of +1.
What does the number of protons or electrons in an atom conclude?
The number of protons in an atom determine what element it is, while the number of electrons is what gives it it's electric charge (positive, neutral, or negative. i.e. if there are 5 protons and 5 electrons, the atom will have a neutral charge.
What would the charge of an atom be if it has six protons ans six electrons?
An atom has no net charge, and is therefore neutral, as long as the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. There would be no charge. If there is the same number of protons to electrons, there would be no extra attraction to create a charge.
What is the oxidation state of 5?
The oxidation state of 5 is +5. In chemistry, oxidation states represent the number of electrons that an atom has gained or lost in a compound. In this case, an atom with an oxidation state of +5 has lost 5 electrons.
What has 5 protons 6 neutrons 2 electrons 3 electrons?
The description appears to contain an inconsistency in the number of electrons. An atom typically has the same number of protons and electrons, making it neutral. If an atom has 5 protons, it is boron, which usually has 5 electrons. However, if it has 2 electrons, it would be a boron ion with a +3 charge, and if it has 3 electrons, it would be a boron ion with a +2 charge.
What kind of charge will an atom have if it gains or loses one or more electrons?
If an atom loses an electron, it will be positively charged. An example may make this clearer. A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons. If you take away an electron, you will have 6 protons and 5 electrons, for a total charge of +6 -5 = +1.
Nitrogen atoms have 7 protons how many electrons are in an ion with a charge of plus 5?
A nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons as it is electrically neutral. (An atom always has same number of protons and electrons)
What is the charge of an atom of boron?
The charge of an atom of boron is neutral. Boron has 5 protons and 5 electrons, giving it an equal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a neutral overall charge.
If an atom that gains one or more electrons will have what charge?
it will have a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral, protons are positive and electrons are negative. an atom will have the same amount of protons and electrons to make the whole thing neutral. adding more electrons if give the atom a negative charge as there isn't enough protons in the atom to counteract the electrons. it do this an atom must already have 5-7 electrons in its outer shell as they are looking to fill there outer shell with 8 electrons. atoms with 1-3 electrons in its outer shell will get rid of them. group 4 doesn't make ions very well as 4 electrons would take too much energy to lose or gain, however there are exceptions. group 8 or 0 doesn't make ions either as they already have filled there outer shell and are stable.
What is the Formal charge of nitrogen atom in ammonium ion?
The formal charge of the nitrogen atom in the ammonium ion (NH4+) is +1. This is because nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and is sharing 4 electrons with the hydrogen atoms, leaving it with a total of 4 electrons instead of the usual 5 in its valence shell.
