Why does an ion have an electrical charge?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lelechka [254]4 years ago
3 0
<span>An ion has an electrical charge because it either has more electrons than protons or it has more protons than electrons. Electrons, which are found in the shells of an atom, have a negative charge, while protons, found in the atom's nucleus, have a positive charge.</span>

Meaning of carbon cycle​
masha68 [24]

The carbon cycle is nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms

what is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminum
igomit [66]

Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

The information below describes a redox reaction.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Al°(s)  + 3Ag⁺(aq) => Al⁺³(aq) + 3Ag(s)

Explanation:

Oxidation:                            Al°(s) =>   Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻

Reduction:           3Ag⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ => 3Ag°(s)

_________________________________________

Net Rxn:           Al°(s)  + 3Ag⁺(aq) => Al⁺³(aq) + 3Ag(s)

One mole of neutral aluminum atoms (Al°(s)) undergo oxidation delivering 3 moles  of electrons to 3 moles silver ions (3Ag⁺³(aq)) that are reduced to 3 moles of neutral silver atoms (3Ag°(s)) in basic standard state 25°C; 1atm.
