What charge is a neutron?
A neutron has no charge, as it is electrically neutral.
What is the diffent between an atom and an ion?
An atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Thus, the charge is neutral. An ion is a charged atom, which means it has a charge of some type (positive or negative). If a lithium atom (3 protons and 3 electrons) gains two electrons, it will become an ion with a charge of 2-. If it loses 3 electrons, it will become an ion with a charge of 3+
Are neutrons positively charged?
Neutrons do not have any electric charge at all but are neutral - hence the name. Even the neutron's antimatter menifestation, the antineutron, is neutral.
What happens to the total charge of the solution when HNO 3 disolves?
When HNO3 dissolves in water, it forms H+ and NO3- ions. The total charge of the solution remains neutral because for each H+ ion formed, there is a corresponding NO3- ion formed. The sum of positive and negative charges in the solution cancels out, resulting in an overall neutral charge.
Charge of an atom?
The charge of an atom is determined by the balance of protons and electrons it contains. Protons carry a positive charge while electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion with a net positive or negative charge.
Which of these has a neutral charge a proton molecule electron or ion?
proton: positive chargemolecule: no charge, neutralelectron: negative chargeion: can be either positively or negatively charged
Does a ion have a neutral charge?
No, an ion does not have a neutral charge. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge.
What does an ion have that a neutral molecule does not have?
An ion has an electrical charge.
If an oxide ion has a charge of negative 2 hire many protons will the ion have?
An oxide ion (O²⁻) has a charge of negative 2, meaning it has gained two extra electrons compared to its neutral state. A neutral oxygen atom has 8 protons, which is the atomic number of oxygen. Therefore, the oxide ion still has 8 protons, regardless of its charge.
What is the net electrical charge on a magnesium ion that is formed when a neutral magnesium atom loses two electron?
When a neutral magnesium atom loses two electrons, it becomes a magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). Since electrons carry a negative charge, losing two electrons results in a net positive charge of +2 on the magnesium ion. Therefore, the net electrical charge on a magnesium ion is +2.
What is the charge on an ion that has an atomic number of 16 and contains 14e-?
An ion with an atomic number of 16 corresponds to sulfur (S), which typically has 16 electrons when neutral. If this ion contains 14 electrons, it has lost 2 electrons, resulting in a charge of +2. Therefore, the charge on the ion is +2.
Whats the difference between a negative ion and its neutral ion?
A negative ion has one or more electrons, so it carries a negative charge wich depends on the number of electrons it gained. A neutral ion did not gain or lose any electrons, so it carries no charge, therefore being neutral.
How many hydroxide ions are needed to form a neutral ionic compound with an aluminum ion?
Three hydroxide ions are needed to form a neutral ionic compound with an aluminum ion. Aluminum has a charge of +3, while hydroxide has a charge of -1 per ion. Therefore, the formula Al(OH)3 is needed for a neutral compound.
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
When an electron is added to a unipositive ion, the resulting atom gains a negative charge and becomes a neutral atom. The electron neutralizes the positive charge of the ion, balancing the overall charge of the atom.
What is the charge of the ion if a positive and a negative ion combines?
The product is neutral.
What is an atom called that does not have a neutral charge?
ION
What is the name of an ion that has a neutral charge?
by definition, ions are charged atoms. so a neutral ion doesn't exist
