Well when an atom becomes an ion it either losses or gains and electron. When an electron is gained it makes the atom negative, but only if the amount of electrons is greater than the amount of protons, and when one is loss it is positive. When an atom becomes positive because of the loss of an electron it is called a Positive Ion.
An atom of an element has 0 charge An ion of an element has a charge that could be anything but 0 (+1,+2,-3,-1,-2) In order for an ion of a certain element to change into an atom, it has to lose its charge. If the ion has an +1 charge, an electron (-1 charge) has to be gained. as +1-1=0 Same with an ion that has an -1 charge, except this time the ion has to lose an electron. as -1-(-1)=0 So basically to change an ion into an atom, you'll need to make the ion lose its charge.
When an ion is formed from an atom, electrons are either added or removed from it, changing the total number.
an atom changes into an ion when it loses or gains an electron
An ion is an atom or a group of atoms that has gained or lost electrons.
Electrons, electrons are either added or removed changing the total number.
Only changes takes place in energy of atom
An atom becomes an ion by either losing or gaining an electron or electrons. This occurs during ionic bonding.
The Bald granny turns an atom into an ion
When an atom is an ion, it means that it either lost or gained one or more electrons.
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
You can't change the charge because that is changing the very chemical nature of the ion/atom. To make formulas with ions, you use subscripts to change the NUMBER of ions in the formula without changing the CHARGE.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
ion
The loss or gain of electrons transform an atom in an ion.
When an atom is an ion, it means that it either lost or gained one or more electrons.
The atom becomes a negative ion.
Eletron
The atom will turn into an ion, specifically, a cation.
chlorine atom will first convert to the gaseous chlorine atom which will then add one electron to form chloride ion.
A fluorine atom changes into a fluoride ion by gaining one electron and developing a 1- charge.
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
Gain an electron.
You can't change the charge because that is changing the very chemical nature of the ion/atom. To make formulas with ions, you use subscripts to change the NUMBER of ions in the formula without changing the CHARGE.
If the number of electrons changes without the number of protons changing, the atom will become an ion, either positively or negatively charged depending upon whether the electron count decreased or increased, respectively.
No, if you change the number of protons in an atom you will be changing the element. Changing the number of electrons turns it into an ion, either positive or negative
