What is the name of the particles that circles the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
Is a atom that loses electrons have a negative charge?
if it can lose an electron it will have a positive charge. to begin with in a neutral state it has no charge it has an equal amount of protons (positively charged) in the nucleus as it has electrons (negatively charged particles) around the nucleus. Hence in loosing an electron the balance shifts to a positive over all charge. not all elements can become ions like this.
How do you find how many electrons an atom has?
Knowing which element it is and its formal charge, subtract the charge from its atomic number.
Why are there as many electrons as protons in a atom?
Because Electrons have a negative charge (e-) and Protons have a positive charge (p+), so to create a balanced atom you must have the same number of e- as p+
An atom contains fewer electrons than protons has as negative ionic charge?
Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.
How many electrons would an atom of Oxygen need to have no charge?
Oxygen needs 8 electrons to have no charge.
How many electrons are presents in Fluorine atom?
There are 9 electrons in the atom without a charge, . The Fluorine ion (F -), has 10 electrons.
How many electrons orbit the nucleus if the atom has no charge?
If the atom has no charge, it is neutral, meaning the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. This is because protons carry positive charge and electrons carry negative charge, balancing each other out in a neutral atom.
What is the name of the particles that circles the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
If a neutral atom of 22 protons how many electrons does an atom contain?
A neutral atom with 22 protons would have 22 electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) to balance the overall charge to zero.
If a neutral atom has 8 protons it must have how many electrons?
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
What is the name of an atom with a positive charge?
Any atom will have a net positive charge if it loses electrons (the negative particles in the atom). The reason is the atom now has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges) so it becomes a positive ion. Although, through various processes, many different atoms can be stripped of one or more electrons and thus take on a positive charge, the elements on the left side of the periodic table, in the first two columns, are the ones that tend to give up electrons during chemical reactions so they are positive ions; also called cations in ionic bonding.
How many electons are in a neutral atom?
A neutral atom has as many electrons as protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, but because there are the same number of them, they cancel each other out.
How many electrons does an atom of copper have?
Copper is a metal element. There are 27 electrons in a single atom.
If an atom has 80 protons and 121 neutrons and is not in an excited state how many electrons does the atom have?
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, which is 80 in this case. This is because in a neutral atom, the positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons.
What is a charge in an atom?
An atom can either have a positive or negative charge, and a charged atom is called an ion. If an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes a positive ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion.
How many electrons do protons have?
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
