An atom of Ni has 26 electrons. What is the charge of this atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mina [271]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

2+

Explanation:

Nickel has an atomic number of 28 meaning that it contains 28 protons in its nucleus. It would need 28 electrons in order to have no charge, because the positive and negative charges balance each other out. Since this atom of Ni has 26 electrons, it has lost 2 of its electrons, and therefore has a positive charge of 2.

How a cation is formed by an atom?​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
