Ions (charged particles) are formed by the loss or gain of electrons.
In an atom, there are equal numbers of electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged) so atoms are neutral. If an atom were to lose electrons, there would be more protons than electrons so a positive ion (cation) would be formed. If an atom were to gain electrons, there would be more electrons than protons so a negative ion (anion) would be formed.
Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus (so they have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses) are called isotopes.

What molecule loses a proton to form the nitrate ion?
The molecule of nitric acid lose a hydrogen atom, not only a proton.
How many protons are in the nucleus of the isotope H-2?
Every atom, ion, and isotope of the same element will have the same number of protons. Hydrogen has one proton.
What type of ion will the element polonium form?
carbon is formed
Why NH4 plus ion does not form complexes?
Proton spin lattice relaxation by NH4+ ion motions and spin diffusion in some ammonium compounds
Is hydrogen is a subatomic particle?
No, it is an element - a type of atom. The positive hydrogen ion, on the other hand, is usually identical with the proton, which is a subatomic particle.
What element has one proton and zero neutrons?
Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.
What element is a proton?
A single proton (not part of a larger nucleus) is the same as a positive hydrogen ion.
Why is the H plus ion referred to as a proton?
Because it is a proton. A hydrogen atom is a proton and an electron; if you take the electron away to form a positive ion, all that's left is the proton.
What do you call an atom that has gained or lost a proton?
An atom of a different element.
Why a hydrogen atom can become either an ion or a part of a molecule?
Hydrogen only has one proton ,so it can pass that one proton onto another element, making it part of a molecule. It can become an ion if it loses that proton, or gains that proton.
What Element z forms an ion Z3 plus which contains 13 proton?
S
What molecule loses a proton to form the hydroxide ion?
water
Which element can only form one ion?
which element can only formed one ion
What ions are formed with magnesium and sulfur?
Magnesium is located in Group II in the periodic table. Every element in Group II will form an ion with the charge of 2+ by losing two electrons. Hence, magnesium will form the magnesium ion: Mg2+. Sulfur is located in Group VI in the periodic table. Every element in Group VI will form an ion with the charge of 2- by gaining two electron. Hence, sulfur will form the sulfur ion: S2-.
DID OXIDATION AND REDUCTION PROCCED SIMULATANEOUSLY?
Oxidation is an element or an ion getting a positive charge by removing valence electrons and Reduction is an element or an ion getting a negative charge by gaining free electrons. In chemical reactions reduction occurs by gaining the free electrons emitted by oxidation. Therefor oxidation and reduction proceed simultaneously.Oxidation is an element or an ion getting a positive charge by removing valence electrons and Reduction is an element or an ion getting a negative charge by gaining free electrons. In chemical reactions reduction occurs by gaining the free electrons emitted by oxidation. Therefor oxidation and reduction proceed simultaneously.
Most halogens form compounds by a. gaining an electron to form a negative ion. b. losing an electron to form a positive ion. c. losing protons. d. joining with both calcium and carbon.?
A: Gaining an electron
What molecule loses a proton to form the nitrate ion?
The molecule of nitric acid lose a hydrogen atom, not only a proton.
