An ion is created by the gain or loss of one or more electrons from an atom. This process is often initiated by interactions with other particles or electromagnetic forces.

This partice is called atomic nucleus.


What is a positively charged atomic particle called?

anion ... a single atom transforms into a positive ion called a monatomic anion, or sometimes just a monatomic ion, but that is a general term for pos or neg ions.


Which of these is not a subatomic particle proton ion neutron or electron?

Ion.


An ion with 5 protons and 6 neutrons has an atomic number of?

When considering the atomic number, the only information that we need is the number of protons. To know if the particle is an ion, has more or less electrons, how many neutrons, etc - will not change the atomic number. The atomic number is the same as the number of protons, so in this case, the atomic number of an atom (or ion, doesn't matter) with 5 protons is 5.


How many of each sub atomic particle does a c4 plus ion contain?

C4+ would contain 24 protons and 24 neutrons but only 23 electrons.


How does the composition of an ion differ from the composition of a non ionic particle?

An ion has a net electrical charge; a nonionic particle that is at least as large as an atom does not.


Does the atomic number changes when an ion is formed?

No, the atomic number remains the same when an ion is formed. The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in an atom, which does not change when an atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons.


Is a ion a charged atom particle?

YES :)


What is the representative particle of a sodium ion?

The representative particle of a sodium ion is Na⁺, which has lost one electron to become positively charged.


An atom that carries an electric charge is called a neutron?

An atom that carries an electric charge is called an ion, not a neutron. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms that have no charge. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.


What subatomic particle changes in an ion?

An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. The subatomic particle that changes in an ion is the electron. When an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes negatively or positively charged, respectively, forming an ion.


Why could only an electron be responsible for creating an ion?

Not only one electron is responsible for creating an ion.
