Which diagram best represents the relationship between the diameter of a sodium atom and the diameter of a positive sodium ion?
A sodium ion is smaller in diameter than a sodium atom.
What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
The loss or gain of electrons transform an atom in an ion.
What is an atom with an electrical charge on it called?
An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
Losing or gaining electrons makes an atom a?
Ion
How you can differentiate an atom from its ion?
The ion will have a charge, so if placed in an electric field it would accelerate while the atom would not react to it.
How many bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen in a hydroxide atom?
First, it is the hydroxide ion, not hydroxide atom. In this ion there is only a single bond between the hydrogen and oxygen.
What is the difference between the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion?
positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron
What atom has no balance between positive and electric charges?
No atom can have an imbalance in its charge; if it did, it would be an ion.
What are differences between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What difference between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What is the difference between a positive and negative atom?
A positive atom (ion) has a deficit of electrons, while a negative atom (ion) has a surplus of electrons.There ar ions. The negativ atoms are antimaterial atoms.
What is the Difference between atom in ground state and ion?
The number of electrons.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium ion?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
What is the difference between chlorine ion and atom?
A chlorine ion has one less electron, giving it a +1 charge.
Which diagram best represents the relationship between the diameter of a sodium atom and the diameter of a positive sodium ion?
A sodium ion is smaller in diameter than a sodium atom.
