What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An ION . Metal (M) ionises ( loses electrons) M(g) = M^(n-) + ne^(-) M^(n+) is a CATION . Non-metal (X) has electron affinity ( gains electrons) X(g) + ne^(-) = X^(n-) X^(n-) is an ANION .
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
What does an atom become when it loses or gains electrons?
it becomes an ion
An atom that has lost or gained electrons is an?
an ion
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that gains or loses electrons is now an ION. If it loses electrons to become M^(n+), then it is a CATION. If it gains electrons to become X^(n-), then it is an ANION. NB Atoms that gain or lose electrons are no longer atoms , but IONS.
When an atom gains electrons what does it become?
It becomes an ion.
How does an ion to be negative?
It gains one or more electrons
When atoms loses or gains electrons it becomes a?
An ion.
What is created when an atom gains electrons?
a negative ion
Does AS3- lose or gain electrons?
The ion given is formed when the neutral arsenic atom gains three electrons.
An atom that gains or loses one or more electrons is it called an ion?
Yes, an atom that gains or loses one or more electrons is called an ion. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation. Conversely, when it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion, referred to as an anion. This process of gaining or losing electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
