  2. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    In that case, the charge of an ion could be written as =. The charge number in chemistry normally relates to an electric charge. This is a property of specific subatomic atoms. These elements define the electromagnetic contact between the two elements. A chemical charge can be found by using the periodic table.

  3. Elementary charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge

    Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge. Thus, an object's charge can be exactly 0 e, or exactly 1 e, −1 e, 2 e, etc., but not ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ e, or −3.8 e, etc. (There may be exceptions to this statement, depending on how "object" is defined; see below.)

  4. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    Also, macroscopic objects made of conductive elements can more or less easily (depending on the element) take on or give off electrons, and then maintain a net negative or positive charge indefinitely. When the net electric charge of an object is non-zero and motionless, the phenomenon is known as static electricity.

  5. Atomic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_number

    An explanation of the superscripts and subscripts seen in atomic number notation. Atomic number is the number of protons, and therefore also the total positive charge, in the atomic nucleus. The atomic number or nuclear charge number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the charge number of its atomic nucleus.

  6. Electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    Electrons have an electric charge of −1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 coulombs, [80] which is used as a standard unit of charge for subatomic particles, and is also called the elementary charge. Within the limits of experimental accuracy, the electron charge is identical to the charge of a proton, but with the opposite sign. [83]

  7. Effective nuclear charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_nuclear_charge

    The effective nuclear charge experienced by an electron is also called the core charge. It is possible to determine the strength of the nuclear charge by the oxidation number of the atom. Most of the physical and chemical properties of the elements can be explained on the basis of electronic configuration.

  9. Core electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_electron

    For example, chlorine (element 17), with electron configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 5, has 17 protons and 10 inner shell electrons (2 in the first shell, and 8 in the second) so: Core charge = 17 − 10 = +7. A core charge is the net charge of a nucleus, considering the completed shells of electrons to act as a 'shield.'
