An ion is an atom with a couple of extra electrons, or which is missing a couple. So when common table salt (NaCl) dissolves in water, it comes apart as a positively charged sodium ion Na+ which is missing an electron, and a negatively charged Cl- ion which has the extra electron from the sodium atom.
What else can I help you with?
What can not be found in a atom?
An ion
Which atom or ion in each what pairs would you expect to be larger H or H?
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
What an atom may be if it has a different number of protons and electrons?
It would be an ion.
What can not be found in a atom?
An ion
Would an ion be in an atom?
No.
How you can differentiate an atom from its ion?
The ion will have a charge, so if placed in an electric field it would accelerate while the atom would not react to it.
Which atom or ion in each what pairs would you expect to be larger H or H?
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
When an electron is gained, the atom becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. When an electron is lost, the atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
What is an atom's charge?
Zero. If it was charged, it would not be called an atom, but either an ion or a nucleus.
Does a hydrogen ion is a negatively charged hydrogen atom?
No, typically hydrogen forms a positive ion.
Is ion found in a nucleus of an atom?
Atomic nucleus doesn't contain ions.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons it becomes a particle called an?
An Ion. An atom that loses electrons to become positively charged is a CATION. An atom that gains electrons to become negatively charged is an ANION. One there is an imbalanbced of electrons to protons, then it is is no longer and atom but an ion. An ATOM is a neutrally charged species An ION is a positively/negatively charged species.
What atom has no balance between positive and electric charges?
No atom can have an imbalance in its charge; if it did, it would be an ion.
How would an atom of sodium become a plus ion?
It would lose an electron
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
