What is the name of any atom or group of atoms with a negative charge?
An atom or group of atoms with a negative charge is called an anion. Anions have gained one or more electrons, leading to an overall negative charge.
Atoms have what kinds of electric charge?
As a rule, atoms do not have a charge, that is why they are atoms.Different parts of the atom has a charge:proton - relative mass of 1 - charge of +1neutron - relative mass of 1 - charge of 0electron - relative mass of about 1/2000 - charge of -1A atom has a equal number of electons and a equal number of protons, and so no charge
How do you charge atoms into an ion?
You take an electron from an atom, or force one into it
Explain how the atom is neutral as a whole?
Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons negatively charged and neutrons have no charge. Since the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in any given atom, the overall charge of the atom is neutral (negative charge of one electron cancels the positive charge of one proton) Atoms that are positively charged (cations) have lost one or more electron(s). Atoms that are negatively charged (anions) have gained one or more electrons.
What is the positive charge atoms called?
The positive -charge in an atom is called the proton.They are held in the nucleus with the neutrons.
Does an atom have charge?
Yes, an atom can have charge. Atoms consist of protons, which have a positive charge, neutrons, which have no charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. The overall charge of an atom depends on the balance of these particles.
What is the Charge of an atom or group of atoms?
Zero. (Ions have charge; atoms are always neutral.)
How is the net charge of an atom produced?
Atoms are neutral in charge
What describes the atoms in the molecule with the chemical formula Li2SO4?
The molecule with the chemical formula Li2SO4 contains two lithium (Li) atoms, one sulfur (S) atom, and four oxygen (O) atoms. The lithium atoms have a +1 charge, the sulfur atom has a +6 charge, and the oxygen atoms have a -2 charge each.
Are atoms neutral and don't have a charge?
A "normal" atom has not an electrical charge; ions have a charge.
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
What is an atom or group of atoms that have a positive charge?
they are the cations
What is the charge of a oxygen atom?
ALL atoms whatsoever DO NOT have a charge!! They're neutral.
In atoms with the same number of electrons and protons. what is the charge?
There is no charge. The atom is neutral.
What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?
The overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms would be -2. This is because carbon has an oxidation state of +4 and each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, resulting in a total charge of -2 for the entire molecule.
What is an atom that has given up or gained electrons?
Atoms that have lost or gained one or more electrons are called ions.An atom that has gained and electron is an anion; and atom that has lost an electron is a cation. Gaining an electron means the anion has a negative charge; losing one or more electrons means the atom has a positive charge.
What is a atom with a net positiveor negative charge?
Atoms do not have any charge, if they have, they are called as ions.
