What happens when you change the number of electrons in an atom

Physics
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago

<h2>Answer: It becomes an Ion </h2>

When an atom has gained or lost electrons (negative charge), it becomes an ion.

In this sense:

<h2>Ions are atoms that have <u>gained or lost</u> electrons in their electronic cortex. </h2><h2> </h2>

If a neutral atom <u>loses electrons</u>, it remains with an excess of positive charge and transforms into a positive ion or <u>cation</u>, whereas if a neutral atom <u>gains electrons</u>, it acquires an excess of negative charge and transforms into a negative ion or <u>anion</u>.

It is then how ions form bonds with other atoms differently depending on the number of electrons they have.

astraxan [27]

Answer: True

Explanation: Following are the properties that are used to identify minerals:

(1) Color

(2) Hardness

(3) Magnetism : It is the property of mineral to attract or repel with other magnetic materials.

(4) Luster : It is the property that shows the surface is reflecting light or not.

(5) Reactivity: Reactivity is also responsible to identify mineral. How the mineral is reacting with acids, bases etc helps to identify type of minerals.

The same force is applied to two skateboards. One rolls across the room and the other moves a few feet and comes to a stop. Wher
igor_vitrenko [27]

The longer you spend reading and thinking about this question,
the more defective it appears.

-- In each case, the amount of work done is determined by the strength
of the force AND by  the distance the skateboard rolls <em><u>while you're still </u></em>
<em><u>applying the force</u>.   </em>Without some more or different information, the total
distance the skateboard rolls may or may not tell how much work was done
to it.<em>
</em>
-- We know that the forces are equal, but we don't know anything about
how far each one rolled <em>while the force continued</em>.  All we know is that
one force must have been removed.

-- If one skateboard moves a few feet and comes to a stop, then you
must have stopped pushing it at some time before it stopped, otherwise
it would have kept going. 

-- How far did that one roll while you were still pushing it ?

-- Did you also stop pushing the other skateboard at some point, or
did you stick with that one?

-- Did each skateboard both roll the same distance while you continued pushing it ?

I don't think we know enough about the experimental set-up and methods
to decide which skateboard had more work done to it.
