Isotope- variation of an element
Sixteen- atomic number of oxygen
Answer:
An atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.
For example,
Al atom has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The number of positive and negative charge is equal thus it will be neutral atom.
While the atom of Al which have 13 proton and 10 electron is not neutral. The positive charge is greater than negative by 3. Which means 3 electrons are lose by Al atom and form cation "Al⁺³".
Thus an atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)
Answer:
By the result of the formation of positive and negative ions, Ionic compounds are formed.
Explanation:
Electrons are actually transferred from one atom to another to form rare gas electron structures for each ion. The atom which forms a positive ion loses electrons to the atom which gains electrons to form a negative ion. A compound is not stable unless the number of electrons which are lost and gained are equal
Yes. bromine and sodium iodide can react to form sodium bromine and free iodine
