What is the difference between a positively and negatively charged atom and how does it occur?
The difference is how many protons and electrons. Protons are positive, (both "p's" easier to remember) so if there are more electrons it's negative, less electrons it's positive. When atoms have electrons added or subtracted it changes the charge, then they are known as ions. The atomic number is how many protons there are, this never changes, if it does there is a different element.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in 3He?
3He has 2 protons, 1 neutron, and 2 electrons.
How many electrons and protons does uranium contain?
92 protonsAll the isotopes of uranium has 92 protons.
How many electrons are in tungsten?
There are 74 electrons in an atom of Tungsten
A sulfide ion S2- has how many protons?
A sulfide ion (S2-) has 16 protons. This is because the sulfide ion carries a charge of -2, indicating that it has gained two extra electrons, and thus has 16 protons in its nucleus as the number of protons always determines the element.
How many electrons can an atom contain?
That depends on the number of protons. It also depends whether the atom has gained or lost electrons to form an ion. Carbon is element number 6; it has 6 protons and 6 electrons. Lead is element number 82; it has 82 protons and 82 electrons.
How many electrons will be gained or lost by scandium?
Usually three will be lost.
How many electrons are lost or gained in a chemical reaction?
There is zero NET loss or gain of electrons
How do you know how many electrons are gained or lost in an atom?
You can determine how many electrons are gained or lost by looking at the atom's charge. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged; if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. The difference between the atom's original and final charge tells you how many electrons were gained or lost.
How many electrons are needed to be gained or lost in aluminium to achieve stable electron configuration?
Only three electrons.
How many electrons an atom has lost gained or shared to become stable?
the oxidation number
The net charge on a sulfur (S) ion is 2-. The ion has how many protons and how many electrons?
The ion S(2-) has 16 protons and 18 electrons.
How many electrons are gained when going from Al to Al3 plus?
-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
How many protons are in an ion with 18 electrons and a -1 charge?
There are 19 protons in an ion with 18 electrons and a -1 charge. The -1 charge indicates that the ion has gained an extra electron, resulting in one more electron than protons.
How many protons and electrons are in Li plus 1?
In Li plus 1, the element is lithium (Li) which has 3 protons. Since it has a +1 charge, it means it has lost one electron, so it has 2 electrons.
How many protons and electrons are in a nitrogen ion -3?
A nitrogen ion -3 has 7 protons and 10 electrons. This is because nitrogen normally has 7 protons and 7 electrons, but the -3 charge indicates that it has gained 3 electrons to become negatively charged.
How many protons are in an oxide ion?
An oxide ion has 8 protons. This is because it is an oxygen atom that has gained 2 electrons to become negatively charged. The number of protons remains the same as the number of protons in a neutral oxygen atom.
