What else can I help you with?
If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?
An ION NB When an atom has a balanced(equal) number of protons and electrons it is named an ATOM If an atom has an imbalance(unequal) number of protons and electrons it is named an ION (NOT an atom). e.g. Sodium (Na)_ An atom of sodium has 11 protons (+) and 11 electrons(-). When this atom is ionized it loses ONE electron. So the count is now 11 protons(+) and 10 electrons(-). It is now an ION (NOT an atom) and is symbolically represented by ' Na^(+)'. The positive(+) because 11 protons (11+) and electrons(-) because 10 electrons (10-) Adding we have 11+ 10- = 1+ Hence the plus (+) as the ionic charge, represented by ' Na^(+) '. Conversely Chlorine(Cl) An atom of chlorine has 17 protons (+) and 17 electrons(-). When this atom undergoes electron affinity it gains ONE electron. So the count is now 17 protons(+) and 18 electrons(-). It is now an ION (NOT an atom) and is symbolically represented by ' Cl^(-)'. The positive(+) because 17 protons (17+) and electrons(-) because 18 electrons (18-) Adding we have 17+ 18- = 1- Hence the negative (-) as the ionic charge, represented by ' Cl^(-) '.
Which of the has an electric charge?
(a) a sodium atom with 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons (b) a calcium atom with 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons (c) a helium atom with 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 2 neutrons (d) an iron atom with 26 protons, 26 electrons, and 30 neutrons
How many electrons are in the uni-positive ion of sodium?
There are less electrons than protons in a positive ion. More information is needed to determine the exact number. Here is an example: How many electrons are in a carbon ion with a positive charge of positive 2e? There are 6 protons in carbon (since it is element number 6). Since it has a charge of +2, there will be 2 less electrons than protons, so the number of electrons would be 4.
Is sodium a subatomic particle?
No, sodium is not a subatomic particle. Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. Subatomic particles are particles smaller than an atom, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
When the nucleus boron-10 is bombarded with neutrons it absorbs a neutron and then emits an alpha particle How many protons does the resulting nucleus have?
The resulting nucleus has 6 protons. Boron-10 has 5 protons, and absorbing a neutron increases the atomic number by 1 to become carbon-11, which has 6 protons. The emission of an alpha particle (helium nucleus with 2 protons) leaves behind a nucleus with 6 protons.
What is the chemical symbol for an element whose atoms have 11 electrons?
For an neutral element that has the same number of electrons and protons, the element with 11 electrons is Na, sodium.
How many protons and electrons dose Na plus have?
11 protons and 10 electrons
What has 11 protons 12 neutrons and 10 electrons?
none because the number of protons and electrons have to be the same.
Does sodium have protons?
Yes, sodium have protons. There are 11 protons and 10 electrons
How many protons neutrons and electrons would an atom of neon have?
- The atomic symbol is only an abridged form of the name of a chemical element. - The chemical symbol of neon is Ne; the atomic number is 10. - The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons. - Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number
An atom has 11 protons 13 neutrons and 11 electrons What are possible isotopes of this atom?
An atom with 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. B. An atom with 11 protons, 10 neutrons, and 11 electrons.An atom with 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons.
How many protons electrons does sodium have?
The atomic number of sodium is 11 which means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons.
How many protons and neutrons and electrons does the ion Na 1?
The ion Na+ has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons. This is because sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it naturally has 11 protons and 11 electrons, but as an ion with a +1 charge, it has lost 1 electron.
How does an atom of sodium has a larger mass than a atom of neon. how is this possible when neon has so many more valence electrons?
sodium has more protons and neutrons. electrons have practically no mass, valence electrons are just outer orbital electrons. sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Mass is 23. neon has 10 protons, 10 electrons, and 10 neutrons. Mass is just 20. The neon atom has 10 protons and 10 neutrons for a mass number of 20. The sodium atom has 11 protons and 12 neutrons for a mass number of 23. The number of valence electrons has no bearing on mass number or atomic weight.
A sodium ion has 11 protons and 10 electrons what is its charge?
A sodium ion with 11 protons and 10 electrons has a net charge of +1 because the number of protons (positive charge) is greater than the number of electrons (negative charge) by 1.
How many protons nuetronsand electrons does the element neon have?
Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons per atom. 20Ne is its most common isotope. It has 20 - 10 = 10 neutrons.
How many electrons and protons in Na plus?
The cation of sodium has 11 protons and 10 electrons.
