An atom that has plus 1 charge must have fewer what than usual?
Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.
What is an atom that has more of fewer electrons than protrons?
Such an atom has a net electric charge, and is known as an ion.
What is An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a(n?
An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is an anion. In this case, the excess of electrons gives the atom a negative charge, while the imbalance in the number of neutrons and protons does not affect its charge but indicates a specific isotopic form. The difference in neutron count can affect the atom's stability and properties but is not directly related to its charge.
Does the Ca plus 2 ion have more electrons than the Ca atom?
No, the calcium ion Ca+2 has fewer electrons than the neutral calcium atom. The calcium atom has 20 electrons, while the Ca+2 ion has 18 electrons because it has lost two electrons to become positively charged.
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
If an atom is positively charged, it has lost one or more electrons and has more protons than electrons. This results in an overall positive charge due to the unbalanced positive charges from the protons.
Does the boron atom has fewer or more electrons than lithium atom?
The boron atom has fewer electrons than the lithium atom. Lithium has 3 electrons in its neutral state, while boron has 5 electrons.
Does a boron Atom has fewer or greater electrons then lithium?
A boron atom has fewer electrons than a lithium atom. Lithium has 3 electrons while boron has 5 electrons.
An atom that has plus 1 charge must have fewer what than usual?
Electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge so when one is removed from the atom the atom gains a net positive charge.
Has 76 fewer electrons than francium?
The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons.
What is an atom that has more of fewer electrons than protrons?
Such an atom has a net electric charge, and is known as an ion.
When is an atom charged?
An atom is charged when it has more or fewer electrons than in its natural state. This is also called an Ion. Ions can be positively charged (more electrons) or negatively charged (fewer electrons).See wikipedia for a thorough dissertation
An atom that has fewer protons than electrons is called what?
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.
An atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons is called?
More electrons = negatively charged = anion Less electrons = positively charged = cation
What is An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a(n?
An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is an anion. In this case, the excess of electrons gives the atom a negative charge, while the imbalance in the number of neutrons and protons does not affect its charge but indicates a specific isotopic form. The difference in neutron count can affect the atom's stability and properties but is not directly related to its charge.
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
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.
Does the Ca plus 2 ion have more electrons than the Ca atom?
No, the calcium ion Ca+2 has fewer electrons than the neutral calcium atom. The calcium atom has 20 electrons, while the Ca+2 ion has 18 electrons because it has lost two electrons to become positively charged.
An atom with a positive charge is called a?
It is a Cation, an ion with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge
