What is the charge on a metal when one electron is removed from it
Answers
Answer:
+1
Explanation:
This is because now there is one more proton in the nucleus than the total electrons in the shells.
Answer:
The charge on a metal after removing one electron from it will become +1.
Explanation:
Metals are usually shiny and hard elements and have the physical properties such as malleable, ductile and a good conductor of electricity. It has the chemical properties of readily losing ions to create cations.
Net charge on a metal is always 0 which means that total charge on an isolated metal is always zero hence has no charge. This is because the number of electrons (negative charged) and the number of protons (positive charge) is equal. Therefore, the negative and positive cancels out.
Hence,
If one electron is removed from a metal. The number electrons becomes one less than the number of protons creating a one positive charge on the metal.
Therefore, the charge on a metal after removing one electron from it becomes +1.
