What subatomic particle is lost or gained in the formation of an ion?
To make a positive ion, we need to remove one or more of the negative components from an atom. The negative charges that make up an atom are the electrons, which can be found in shells or orbitals some distance from the nucleus. Take away one or more electrons, and the protons, the positive charges that make up atoms and which hang out in the nucleus, give the atom an overall positive charge. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positive ion.
How many electrons are lost or gained if there are 4 electrons 4 protons?
If there are 4 electrons and 4 protons, the atom is electrically neutral since the positive charges from the protons balance out the negative charges from the electrons. No electrons are lost or gained in this scenario.
Do electron tend to move a region of high potential or lower potential?
Electrons tend to move from a region of higher potential to a region of lower potential, following the path of least resistance. This movement of electrons contributes to the flow of electric current in a circuit.
What ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons?
There is no atom or element that has one proton, one neutron and ten electrons. Duterium has one proton, one neutron and one electron (in a neutral atom). Tritium has one proton, two neutrons and one electron (in a neutral atom), but that is the closest. In any neutral atom the number of electrons will equal the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom. An atom with one proton in its nucleus and 10 electrons just isn't possible.
What sort of energy has the cyclist gained when she reaches the summit?
The cyclist has gained potential energy as she reaches the summit. This energy is stored due to her position and height in relation to the ground.
What is the energy level farthest away from the nucleus of the atom that holds 8 or more valence electrons?
The valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding. The electrons more loosely held by the nucleus - are the ones that are gained, lost or shared.
Where is an electron in the atom?
Electrons are found in the outer regions of an atom, in what is called the electron cloud, around and outside the nucleus of the atom. This region has areas where electrons are more likely to be at any time, and these are called orbitals. There are various shaped orbitals.The closer an electron is to the nucleus, the more energy it would take to escape from the atom. The outermost electrons of an atom can be more readily shed or gained, and if this is done, the atom has a positive or negative charge because it has more or less protons than electrons, and is called an ion.Electrons are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus of and atom and carry a negative electric charge they are also responsible for chemical changes during chemical reactions.
What is the name of the state of the electrons when the electrons have not gained any energy and they are resting comfortably in the lowest possible orbital?
Ground state.
When electrons cannot be gained or lost they are?
Shared
What is a unionized particle of an element?
A unionized particle of an element refers to an atom that has not gained or lost any electrons, thus maintaining a neutral charge. This means the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
What are valances?
They are electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are the electrons that are either shared, lost, or gained in the proccess of forming chemical compounds
What did bohr discover that electrons did inside the atom?
In atomic physics, the Bohr model, devised by Niels Bohr, depicts the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus-similar in structure to the solar system, but with electrostatic forces providing attraction, rather than gravity.
When there is a charge in the nucleus of an atom is released?
There is always a positive charge in the nucleus but there is a charge in the atom of an element when the outermost electrons are released or gained during a chemical reaction.This is called ionic bonding.
What can happen to an electron in an atom when it gains or loses energy?
it gains or acquires a charge either positive or negative so when it gains energy, it aquires a negative charge then when it loses energy, it aquires a positive charge
Show me a picture of an atom model with two electrons?
I'm unable to display images as I'm a text-based assistant. However, a basic representation of an atom with two electrons would have a nucleus at the center (protons and neutrons) and two electrons moving around the nucleus in specific energy levels or orbitals. The electrons would be depicted as small, negatively charged particles orbiting the nucleus at different distances.
Is the neutron outside of the atom?
Yes, they are. Both protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom but not electrons. They are lighter so they can be loosed or gained by an atom.......HOPE THAT HELPED GUYS!
What is a chemical change in which electrons are gained?
A chemical change in which electrons are gained is a reduction.
