When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron it becomes an ion with a charge of negative one. This charge comes from the electron's negativity, which changes the atom's balanced ratio of electrons to protons.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
It can be positive or negative depending on if the atom loses or gains an electron. If it gains an electron it becomes negative and if it loses an electron it becomes positive.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
What does an atom do when it gains an electron?
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
What does an atom release more easily when it gains an electron?
An Electron
What atom that gains an electron is called?
an anion
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron it becomes an ion with a charge of negative one. This charge comes from the electron's negativity, which changes the atom's balanced ratio of electrons to protons.
When a atom gaines a electron?
When an atom gains an electron the no of negatively charged particles increases inside the atom and the atom gets negatively charged.
