polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.
It depends on what you mean by what parts are equal. Protons and electrons both have the same magnitude of charge with opposite signs and electrons are much less massive than protons. Protons and neutrons are approximately equal in mass but protons have a charge of +e Coulombs while neutrons have a charge of 0. Atoms can often exist with unequal numbers of protons and electrons. Such atoms are called ions and have a negative charge if they have more electrons than protons and positive charge if they have more protons than electrons.
In bonded pairs of electrons the repulsion of the negative charges is somewhat reduce by the positive charge of the bonded atom's nucleus. Lone pairs do not have this.
No. Electrons possess a negative charge, therefore an atom with an excess of electrons will have an overall negative charge.
An atom can be negatively charged if it has an extra electron.An atom can be negatively charged if it has an extra electron.An atom can be negatively charged if it has an extra electron.An atom can be negatively charged if it has an extra electron.
If an atom has 15 protons 12 neutrons and 16 electrons, the neutrons have absolutely nothing to do with the electrical charge. Having one more electron than protons would determine the electrical charge of the atom. The atom would have a charge of -1. The extra electron would give it a negative charge.
Electrons have negative charge. So when electrons is lost from an atom, the atom gets positive charge.
The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
Short Answer:The total charge of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus, minus the number of electrons around the nucleus. Normally, atoms have as many protons as electrons and the atom is neutral, otherwise, it is a negative ion with a charge of -1, -2, etc if it has extra electrons or +1, +2 etc if it is missing electrons and is a positive ion.Explanation:Atoms have a positively charged nucleus and a collection of negatively charged electrons around the nucleus. Because each proton in the nucleus has a positive charge of exactly the same size as the negative charge of an electron, when the normal atom has as many electrons as protons, the total charge of the atom is zero. It is a neutral atom.If there is one more electron than than the number of protons, there is a net negative charge of -1. If the atom is missing an electron, the total charge is +1.If an atom has one or more extra electrons, we say it is a negative ion and the total charge of the ion is -1 or -2 or "-" the number of extra electrons.If an atom is one or more electrons, we say it is a positive ion and the total charge of the ion is +1 or +2 or "+" the number of missing electrons, i.e. the excess number of protons.Total Charge = (number of protons) - (number of electrons).
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.
When an atom has missing or extra electrons, it is called an ion. When an atom has missing or extra neutrons, it is called an isotope. Atoms can have missing or extra protons, but I do not believe that there is a specific name for that type of atom, or at least to my knowledge.
an ion with a 2- charge has 2 more electrons than usual
An atom can either have a positive or negative charge, and a charged atom is called an ion. If an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes a positive ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion.
