What has extra electrons?
Atoms or ions that have more electrons than protons have extra electrons. This typically occurs in negatively charged ions or in atoms that have gained additional electrons through a chemical reaction.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
When an atom has different amounts of protons and electrons it is called an?
An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.
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 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.
Ions always has an unequal number of?
Ions always have an unequal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net electric charge. This charge can be positive if there are more protons than electrons, or negative if there are more electrons than protons. The number of neutrons in an ion can vary.
These elements form ions because they have more than?
protons than electrons
What is a charged particle because it had more or fewer electrons then protons?
Cations are positively charged ions formed when atoms lose electrons. So they have less electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons. So they have more electrons than protons.
What charge is any atom?
the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
Nonmetal ions larger than their elemental counterparts?
Non metallic ions are negatively charged. They have more electrons than protons. So they are larger than elemental counterparts that have equal number of protons and electrons.
How are positive charged ions formed?
actually +vely charged ions are formed due to the addition of more no.of electrons than protons in an atom
What is am atom that has more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
An atom with more electrons than protons is called an anion and has a negative charge. Conversely, an atom with fewer electrons than protons is called a cation and has a positive charge. These charged atoms are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
What are changed atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons?
Charged atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons are called ions.. A perfect example of this is H+, which is a hydrogen with one less electron than normal. In other words, H+ is a single proton, with no electrons.
Does Anions have more protons than electrons?
anions have more electrons than protons
Atoms whose number of electrons does not equal it's number of protons are what?
In every element the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it. But in the ions there is loss or gain of electrons. But the ions and the atoms are not same . Ions are formed from atoms. In the case of radio active disintegration the number of protons changes . Even after the radio active decay they exist in ionic form. So far as the question is concerned we cannot say that an atom exists in which the number of protons is different from that of electrons.
How do you tell if an ion is positive or negative from a diagram?
In a diagram, positive ions are typically represented with a plus sign (+) next to the element symbol, while negative ions are represented with a negative sign (-). Additionally, positive ions usually have fewer electrons than protons, resulting in an overall positive charge, while negative ions have more electrons than protons, resulting in an overall negative charge.
What has extra electrons?
Atoms or ions that have more electrons than protons have extra electrons. This typically occurs in negatively charged ions or in atoms that have gained additional electrons through a chemical reaction.
