An atom is called an ion if there a:is an uneven number of protons and electrons b:are more neutrons then protons c: is an uneven number of neutrons and protons d:is an uneven number of neutrons and electrons e: none of the above

OpenStudy (hunus):

It's a. An ion is an atom that doesn't have a zero charge because they don't have the same protons and electrons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh thank you...

OpenStudy (aaronq):

"uneven" makes it sound as if it was odd, as in 1, 3, 5.. which is not the case. as the other person previously said, the number of e and protons is not equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (aaronq):

there are 2 types of nuclear reactions, fusion (which is fusing atoms together, like the sun) or fission, which splits nuclei of atoms, like the nuclear reactors we use.
