Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton

Chemistry

Explanation:

Atoms never gain protons; they become positively charge only by losing electrons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced: CAT-eye-on). You may have notice that the number of neutrons in each of these ions was not specified.

Nataly_w [17]
Fluorine ions reacts with Hydrogen chloride to form more hydrogen fluoride.
Therefore, moles of HCl = 0.005 l × 0.01 M = 5 ×10^-5 moles
The initial moles of Hydrogen fluoride will be;
 = 0.0126 M× 0.0250 = 0.00315 Moles
Moles of hydrogen fluoride after the addition of HCl 
= 0.00315 + 5.0× 10^-5 = 0.0032 moles 
Therefore, the concentration of Hydrogen chloride 
            = 0.0032 moles/ 0.030 L 
            = 0.107 M

An ionized helium atom has a mass of 6.6 × 10-27 kg and a speed of 5.3 × 105 m/s. It moves perpendicular to a 0.78-T magnetic fi
arsen [322]

Explanation:

In a magnetic field, the radius of the charged particle is as follows.

             r = \frac{mv}{qB}

where,   m = mass,      v = velocity

              q = charge,    B = magnetic field

Therefore, q will be calculated as follows.

         q = \frac{mv}{rB}

            = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-27} \times 5.3 \times 10^{5}}{0.014 m \times 0.78 T}

            = \frac{34.98 \times 10^{-22}}{0.01092}

            = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \times \frac{1.0 e}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}C}

            = +2e

Thus, we can conclude that the charge of the ionized atom is +2e.
