How does an atom become a positively charged ion

Chemistry
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

How am I ment to label this diagram
lora16 [44]
I believe you have to label out the positive metal ion and the delocalized electrons. They're the 2 things that makes up a metal structure.

In the diagram, the circles with the + symbol are the positive metal ions, since + represents positive. And the remaining - circles are the delocalized electrons, as electrons are negative.

And for how a metal conducts electricity, since they're delocalized mobile electrons present in any metal structures, they're able to move away from the metal to the positive side of the battery and more electrons can replace their place flowing from the negative side.

What is true when a reaction has reached equilibrium?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

In a chemical equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates, and the concentrations of products and reactants remain constant. A catalyst speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction, but has no effect upon the equilibrium position for that reaction.
