Answer:
The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.
Explanation:
An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.
Answer:
The atomic structure of an atom involves 3 subatomic particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. The proton has a positive charge and is found in the core of the atom, with the neutral neutrons that also have a mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit) just like the proton. The nucleus is the core of the atom and contains protons and neutrons and is practically the only area with mass. The electron cloud is basically an area surrounding the nucleus and it contains negative charged electrons. Electrons have no mass but are charged with a negative charge that keeps them. I really hope this helps :)
Explanation:
There is a helpful video that actually explains the structure of an atom in a rather fun way in just 2 minutes. It really does help big time and it's kinda funny if you look it up on YT and watch:
WKRP: Venus Explains the Atom
Have a wonderful great day :)
Answer:
protons = atomic numbermass number = protons + neutronsatomic number = mass number - neutrons = 78-38 = 40
