What causes an atom to have a positive charge?
Atoms consist of three subatomic Particles (Nuetrons, Protons, and electrons) when an atom looses an electron which is negatively charged it makes that atom positive, when an atom looses a Proton it makes it negative since that proton had a postive charge it is no longer balanced between negative and postive subatomic particles
What is an atom with more protons than neutrons and electrons?
An atom that has gained or lost an electron and is therefore no longer electrically neutral is generically called an ion.Specifically, an atom/ion that has lost one or more electrons (and is therefore positively charged) would be called a cationand an atom/ion that has gained one or more electrons (and is therefore negatively charged) would be called an anion.There is also a state of matter where all the electrons are stripped from atoms, this is called a plasma.The loss or gaining of an electron does not affect the number of protons in the nucleus.The number of protons and neutrons in the atom's nucleus are fixed for the atom from the moment of its creation unless it undergoes radioactive decay.For an atom, the number of protons determines what element the atom comprises and the variation in the number of neutrons forms the isotopes for that element.
How in law of conservation of charge the total charge on an isolated system remains constant and give with an example?
According to the law of conservation of charge, the total charge in an isolated system remains constant. A simple example: when a magnesium atom loses two electrons to an oxygen atom the ions have charges of 2+ and 2- respectively. The total charge is zero before and after ionization.
An object has five million more electrons than protons What is the net charge of the object?
5*10^6 =5000000 5000000*(1.6*10^-19) = 3.125e25
How many electrons in nitrite?
The equation for nitrite is NO2-. To find the valence electrons of each atom, count how many groups from the left of the periodic table (skipping over the d-block, which is shown in this picture in the related link. So Nitrogen has 5, and each oxygen has 6. The negative sign means that the polyatomic ion has one extra electron, so 1 more. 5+(6*2)+1=18 total valence electrons.
What does the number of protons or electrons in an atom conclude?
The number of protons in an atom determine what element it is, while the number of electrons is what gives it it's electric charge (positive, neutral, or negative. i.e. if there are 5 protons and 5 electrons, the atom will have a neutral charge.
What is the total charge of an atom with 4 protons 3 neutrons and 5 electrons?
The total charge of an atom is calculated by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. In this case, the atom has 4 protons (positive charge) and 5 electrons (negative charge), resulting in a net charge of +1.
What is the chargeof an atom of boron?
The charge of an atom of boron is neutral because it has 5 protons (positive charge) and 5 electrons (negative charge), making the atom overall neutral.
What would the charge of an atom be if it has six protons ans six electrons?
An atom has no net charge, and is therefore neutral, as long as the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. There would be no charge. If there is the same number of protons to electrons, there would be no extra attraction to create a charge.
What has 5 protons 6 neutrons 2 electrons 3 electrons?
The description appears to contain an inconsistency in the number of electrons. An atom typically has the same number of protons and electrons, making it neutral. If an atom has 5 protons, it is boron, which usually has 5 electrons. However, if it has 2 electrons, it would be a boron ion with a +3 charge, and if it has 3 electrons, it would be a boron ion with a +2 charge.
A neutral atom contains 5 neutrons and 4 protons. How many electrons does it contain?
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 4 protons would also have 4 electrons to maintain its neutral charge.
If the atomic number of an element is five how many protons does the element have?
Neutrons do not affect the neutrality (or charge) of an atom; protons and electrons do. In order to be neutral, the number of protons must be the same as the number of electrons.
Nitrogen atoms have 7 protons how many electrons are in an ion with a charge of plus 5?
A nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons as it is electrically neutral. (An atom always has same number of protons and electrons)
What atom has 5 protons and 6 neutrons and 5 electrons?
I'm almost positive the protons always tell you the identification of an element on the periodic chart... the atom with 6 protons is Carbon a non metal but if electrons are 5 then it must be carbon cation C+.
What kind of charge will an atom have if it gains or loses one or more electrons?
If an atom loses an electron, it will be positively charged. An example may make this clearer. A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons. If you take away an electron, you will have 6 protons and 5 electrons, for a total charge of +6 -5 = +1.
Where do you look to find the charge on an atom?
The charge on an atom can be found by looking at the number of protons and electrons it contains. If the atom contains more protons than electrons, it will have a positive charge, and if it contains more electrons than protons, it will have a negative charge.
How many electrons does Boron have in a electron cloud?
A boron atom has 5 electrons in its electron cloud. Boron has an atomic number of 5, meaning it has 5 protons and normally 5 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons.
