No, an ion is a charged particle that has gained or lost electrons, giving it a net positive or negative charge. A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, so it does not have an overall charge.

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.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
If an electron is added to a neutral atom, it becomes a negative ion (anion) with a net negative charge.
What could be done to change this carbide ion to a neutral carbon atom?
I cannot answer this question.
How does an s2- ion differ from an electrically neutral sulfur atom?
An S2- ion has gained two electrons, giving it a 2- charge, while a neutral sulfur atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. This means that the S2- ion has two more electrons than a neutral sulfur atom.
How many electrons do atoms need to be neutral?
It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion) If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons. Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of what element?
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of the element argon (Ar).
Do the atomic number for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of -?
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of chlorine (Cl). The neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, and when it gains one electron to form the chloride ion, it also has 17 electrons but with a 1- charge.
Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion?
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of?
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of an element in Period 3 of the periodic table, as both consist of 17 electrons.
Is the number of protons the same in the atom or ion of lithium?
Yes, the number of protons in an atom and its ion of lithium is the same. Lithium always has 3 protons in its nucleus, regardless of whether it is in its neutral atom form (Li) or as an ion with a different number of electrons.
Atoms always have the same number of electrons as they have protons?
This is true. That is why a atom is neutral. An atom becomes an Ion when the charges are + or -
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
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.
An atom that has the same number of protons amd electrons is?
Electrically neutral - uncharged - i.e. not an ion.
Do the number of neutrons for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no. it will be same. only the number of electrons will differ
