Question

13. Science Application An atom consists of charged particles called electrons and protons.

Each proton has a charge of +1 and each electron has a charge of -1. Remember number of

electrons is equal to number of protons, while answering these questions:

(a) What is the charge on an atom?

(b) What will be the charge on an atom, if it loses an electron?

(c) hat will be the charge on an atom, if it gains an electron?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) positive

(b) positive

(c) negative

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) the only possible case for such electronic Confriguation is Hydrogen(H1+) which has a valency 1+ and a charge of positive.

(b) as the atom looses one electron, the no. of protons increases and hence the charge become positive.

(c) as the atom gains one electron,the no. of electron increases and hence the charge become negative.

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) neutral

(b) positive

(c) negative
