What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.
What does the 2 in alpha particle represent?
The symbol for an alpha particle is 24He2+. The first 2 means that there are 2 protons. The second 2+ means that the net charge is +2, which means, since there are 2 protons, that there are no electrons. The result is that an alpha particle is a helium nucleus without its electrons, i.e. 2 protons and 2 neutrons, but no electrons.
If an atom has 5 protons and 7 electrons what is the charge of the atom?
its charge is 0. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge (neutrons have no charge at all). So ten protons will balance out ten electrons, making the net charge 0.
What has more electrons than protons?
An ion with a negative charge has more electrons than protons. This means that the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons in the atom, giving it a net negative charge.
What holds an electrical charge?
An electrical charge is held by particles called electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge, and they are found within atoms. When there is an imbalance of electrons or protons, an object can have a net electrical charge.
What is the particle called that has an unequal number of protons and electrons called?
An ion is a particle that has an unequal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
If five electrons combine with 3 protons the net charge will be?
The net charge will be negative, since electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. When 5 electrons (-5) combine with 3 protons (+3), the net charge will be -2.
Which particles determine the net charge of an atom or ion and how do you calculate that charge?
The net charge of an atom or ion is determined by the balance of protons and electrons. Protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge, contribute to the overall charge of the atom. To calculate the net charge, subtract the number of electrons from the number of protons: ( \text{Net Charge} = \text{Protons} - \text{Electrons} ). If an atom has more protons than electrons, it is positively charged (cation), while more electrons than protons result in a negative charge (anion).
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons than electrons?
A net postive charge
What would be the charge on a particle of Sulfur-33 with 18 electrons?
The charge on a particle of Sulfur-33 with 18 electrons would be -15, as the number of protons in sulfur-33 is 16. Since electrons have a negative charge of -1 each, 16 protons (positive charge) neutralized by 16 electrons would result in a net charge of -15.
What is the net charge of iron with 26 protons 30 neutrons and 23 electrons?
Atomic Number: This is the number of protons an element has. Answer: 26 Atomic Mass: Ignoring electrons, which are incredibly small and don't have much of an effect on the mass... This is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons Answer: 56 (26 protons + 30 neutrons) Net Charge: Protons are positive and electrons are negative. The net charge can be found by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. 0 is neutral. Answer: +3 (26 protons - 23 electrons)
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.
What is the net charge of o?
The net charge of an oxygen ion is typically -2. In its neutral state, oxygen has 6 protons and 6 electrons, giving it a net charge of 0. When it gains 2 electrons to become an ion, it carries a net charge of -2.
If five electrons combine with three protons then the net charge would be what?
The net charge can be calculated by considering the charges of the electrons and protons. Electrons have a charge of -1 each, while protons have a charge of +1 each. Thus, five electrons contribute a total charge of -5, and three protons contribute +3. Therefore, the net charge is -5 + 3 = -2, indicating an overall negative charge.
What is the net charge if there os 11 protrons and 12 neutrons?
The net charge of an atom is determined by the number of protons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to the charge. If there are 11 protons, the atom has a positive charge of +11. If there are no electrons mentioned, we can assume it has 11 electrons to remain neutral, resulting in a net charge of 0. However, if there are no electrons, the net charge would be +11.
If you have an element with 46 protons and 44 electrons what would the net charge be?
An element with 46 protons and 44 electrons would have a net positive charge. This is because protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. The difference between the number of protons and electrons is 2, resulting in a net charge of +2. Thus, the element would be a cation with a charge of +2.
What is true of all atoms that are anions A more electrons than protons B more protons than electrons C fewer protons than neutral atom of same element D more neutrons than protons E net charge is 1-?
Answer A is correct: there are more electrons than protons. However, if a particle is an anion, it is not an atom. Atoms are electrically neutral.
