What is the charge of nickel when two electrons are lost?
Ni 2+...............this does not help at all
The charge an object has when it has lost electrons?
Negative charge!!
Why does a element have a plus 2 charge?
An element you have a +2 charge It is had lost electrons. It would have to lose the same number of electrons that its positive charge is. So it would have lost 2 electrons.
When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
What is the charge on an atom that has lost four electrons?
It will be +4 relative to a proton's charge.
What is the charge on the tin atom if four electrons have been removed?
The charge on a tin atom that has lost four electrons is 4+.
If an object has a positive charge what has it done?
It has lost electrons, resulting in a more positive charge.
Do cations lose electrons?
a cation gains electrons and has a positive charge while a anion loses electrons and has a negative charge
When an element loses an electron what happens to the charge of the element?
When "x" valence electrons are lost the charge is +x When "x" valence electrons are gained the charge is -x for example, if chlorine gained one electron, the charge would be Cl 1- or, if magnesium lost two electrons, the charge would be Mg 2+
What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
What are Atoms that carry an electrical charge called because they have gained or lost electrons?
Atoms that carry an electrical charge because they gained or lost electrons are called ions. An atom that has lost electrons will be positively charged, and it is called cation. On the other hand, an atom that has gained electrons will be negatively charged, and it is called anion.
What is an atom that has an electric charge because it lost or gained electrons?
An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.
