What is a charged particle that has either more or fewer electrons than it has protons?
ion
An atom that has lost or gained electrons is called an ion. An ion is a charged particle because it now has either more or fewer electrons than protons. Atoms lose or gain electrons to meet a standard—a stable energy level.
What is the neutral particle that is formed when atoms share electrons in a covalent bond?
molecule
Atoms sharing electrons form a neutral particle called a molecule. a, Covalently bonded compounds are called molecular compounds.
oxidation number
An oxidation number is a positive or negative number that indicates how many electrons an atom has gained, lost, or shared to become stable. Not all compounds are binary. Many common compounds contain more than two atoms.
When two or more atoms bond covalently form a neutral particle The particle is called a?
molecule. A neutral particle made of two or more atoms joined by covalent bonds. double bond.
What is it called when an atom gains or loses the charged particle that results a molecule?
When an atom gains or loses electrons, the charged particle that results is called an ion. The smallest particle of an ionic compound is a molecule.
What is it called when an atom gains or loses the charged particle that results an ion?
When an atom gains/loses an electron, the atom becomes charged, and is called an ion. Gaining an electron results in a negative charge, so the atom is an anion. Losing an electron results in a positive charge, so atom ion is a cation.
What is the neutral particle that is formed when electrons are transferred?
Ions
Ions results from the transfer of electrons between atoms.
What is neutral particle of an atom?
The neutron is a neutral particle, which is stable only in the confines of the nucleus of the atom. Outside the nucleus, the neutron decays with a mean lifetime of about 15 min. Its mass, like that of the proton, is equivalent to 1 u (atomic mass unit).
Is an ion that contains more than one atom?
Polyatomic Ions
Ionic Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions. Polyatomic ions are ions which consist of more than one atom. For example, nitrate ion, NO3-, contains one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. The atoms in a polyatomic ion are usually covalently bonded to one another, and therefore stay together as a single, charged unit.
What is a molecule that has a positive and negative end?
A polar molecule is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative. A diatomic molecule that consists of a polar covalent bond, such as HF, is a polar molecule.
What is a neutral particle that is made of covalently bonded atoms?
What is a molecule? A neutral particle made of atoms joined together by covalent bonds.
What type of bond usually results in a neutral atom?
However, the carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms can bond to more than one atom. The number of covalent bonds an atom can form is called the valence of the atom. The valence of a given atom is the same in most stable neutral organic compounds….Covalent Bonds.
| Atom | Valence |
|---|---|
| Bromine | 1 |
| Chlorine | 1 |
| Iodine | 1 |
| Oxygen | 2 |
