Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?

A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.


Can an isotope be a neutral atom?

Yes, they usually are; being an isotope does not change the chemistry of the atom.

Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.


How many electrons does a neutral atom of sodium -25 have?

All neutral sodium atoms have 11 electrons, regardless of the isotope.


How many electrons will surround the nucleus of a neutral atom of the isotope 18 of oxygen?

Each isotope of oxygen (15 to 19) has the same number of protons (8), hence the neutral atoms have 8 electrons.


What is electronically neutral nuclear particle?

Neutrons are electrically neutral particles present in atoms except in hydrogen-1 isotope.


How many electrons does a neutral isotope of C with 8 neutrons have?

A neutral isotope of carbon with 8 neutrons will have 6 electrons. This is because carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is the number of protons, and in a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of protons.


How would you distinguish an isotope from a neutral element?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. A neutral element is an atom of that element with equal numbers of protons and electrons, balancing out the charges to be electrically neutral.
