maxmac97 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 one last question the net charge which has gained one electron would be +1 the net charge number of an atom which has lost two el;ectrons wopuld be -2 Are these correct? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenoise Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Sure. It's possible it just depends on what charges you're starting with in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andie Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 wouldnt it be the other way around as in if it loses 2 electrons it would be +2 thats how i was taught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asian Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 it is the other way around because if you lost an electron, then there would be "x" amount of protons more than the electorns, therefor making it postive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
