Yes, usually in acid/base reactions, hydrogen splits from the acid and will leave an electron to form a proton. It is called a proton because without any electrons, that's all it is: a proton with a charge of +1.

How many electrons will hydrogen gain or lose when it forms an ion?

Hydrogen usually loses its single electron to become a hydrogen ion, H+.


What is the most likely charge on an ion when hydrogen forms an ion?

When hydrogen forms an ion, it is most likely to have a charge of +1, forming a hydrogen ion (H+). This is because hydrogen has one electron in its outer shell, so it tends to lose this electron to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of helium.


Does hydrogen gain or lose electrons?

Since hydrogen has one electron, it can either gain it or lose it to form cation or anion to achieve stable electronic configuration.COPIED DIRECTLY FROMWhy_does_hydrogen_lose_electronsBY ID2057450460


Does rubidium lose or gain electrons to form an ion?

Rubidium typically loses one electron to form a +1 ion.


Will a chlorine ion lose its extra electron to a sodium ion when they are separated by an electric field in an aqueous solution?

no, because the electric potential of sodium is so low.But chlorine will give electron to proton to form hydrogen gas


How does NAD gain energy in cellular respiration?

it lose a hydrogen ion and one electron


When forming an ion how many electrons will potassium gain or lose?

Potassium will lose 1 electron to form a 1+ ion.


Can there be doubly ionised hydrogen ion?

No, because neutral hydrogen has only one electron - so it cannot lose TWO.


Which element can form both positive and negative ions?

Hydrogen is the element that can form both positive (H+) and negative (H-) ions. When hydrogen gains an electron, it forms a negative ion, and when it loses an electron, it forms a positive ion.


How does a hydrogen ion change into an atom?

A hydrogen ion can change into an atom by gaining an electron. When a hydrogen ion, which is essentially a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron, gains an electron back, it will become a neutral hydrogen atom.


How many electrons will sodium gain or lose in forming an ion?

Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1


What will be the charge for hydrogen when it becomes ions?

The ionic charge of a hydrogen ion can be -1 in compounds of hydrogen with very active metals such as sodium but will be +1 in most other compounds that contain hydrogen ions.
