Rubidium (Rb) typically has a positive charge. As an alkali metal in Group 1 of the Periodic Table, it readily loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a +1 charge (Rb⁺) when it forms ions. In chemical reactions, rubidium usually participates as a cation.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?
The object would have a negative charge. Negative particles, such as electrons, carry a negative charge when they outnumber the positive particles, such as protons.
What charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?
The object would have a negative charge if it has more negative particles than positive particles. This is because the excess negative particles result in an overall negative charge.
What can be a negative for electrons or a positive for protons?
A negative for electrons would be an excess of electrons creating an imbalance in charge, leading to potential discharge or electrical instability. A positive for protons would be their contribution to the positive charge of the nucleus, providing stability and forming the basis of chemical bonds.
When Rubidium has an atomic number of 37 it can lose 1 electron to form an ion what would its charge be?
When Rubidium (Rb) has an atomic number of 37, it has one electron in its outermost shell. By losing this single electron, Rubidium forms a cation with a charge of +1. Therefore, the charge of the Rubidium ion would be +1, commonly represented as Rb⁺.
When an atom has more protons than electrons what is its electrical charge?
No. An 'atom' can not have more electrons than protons because, by definition, an 'atom' is electrically neutral. If an 'atom' loses or gains an electron, it becomes an 'ion' and is electrically charged. An 'ion' with more electrons than protons will be NEGATIVELY charged because electrons carry negative charge.
Rubidium (Rb) has an atomic number of 37. It can lose 1 electron to form an ion. What would its charge be?
If rubidium (Rb) loses 1 electron, it will have a charge of +1 because it is losing a negative electron, resulting in a positive charge.
If an atom gains an electron would it have a negative or positive charge?
it would have a negative charge
What kind of charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?
The object would have a negative charge. Negative particles, such as electrons, carry a negative charge when they outnumber the positive particles, such as protons.
If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
Is an object without a charge repelled by both positive and negative charges?
Positive and negative charges would have not effect on an object without charge.
What charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?
The object would have a negative charge if it has more negative particles than positive particles. This is because the excess negative particles result in an overall negative charge.
What particle would be attracted to the negative charge?
positive charges
What can be a negative for electrons or a positive for protons?
A negative for electrons would be an excess of electrons creating an imbalance in charge, leading to potential discharge or electrical instability. A positive for protons would be their contribution to the positive charge of the nucleus, providing stability and forming the basis of chemical bonds.
What atom is not going to have a positive charge?
none. they would explode if there were no positive with negative charges
What is the net charge if an atom has 8 protons and 6 electrons?
+2. It is called a cation because it has a positive charge. A proton has a positive charge and an electron has a negative charge. A neutron has no charge.
The is the particle in the nucleus with a positive charge?
The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains both protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. The electrons, which have a negative charge are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
3 positive charges and 4 negative charges what is the overall charge of an atom?
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
