A cation is a positively charged ion. Thus, it would have fewer electrons than a non ionic form of the same element, so electrons are transferred away.

When an atom loses one or more electrons this atom becomes a?
An atom which has lost an electrons forms a positive ion which is called cation. ANSWER: ADDENDUM A nucleus does not loose an electrons it just has temporarily misplaced an electrons by am external force. That electron will be practically replace immediately by an electron from the next nucleus that is how electron current is generated and sustained
A charge particle that forms when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
Ion.
What is a charge particle that forms when one or more electrons are transferred from one element to another?
It is called an Ion.
What happens to electrons when atoms form an ionic bond?
In an ionic bond, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion. The ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
What is the difference between covalent bonds and ionic bonds?
An iconic bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. And a covalent bond forms when electrons are shared between atoms
When a cation forms there are more protons than what in the ion?
Electrons.
When cations form are more electrons transferred to it?
A cation is a positively charged ion. Thus, it would have fewer electrons than a non ionic form of the same element, so electrons are transferred away.

What happens with the electrons when an atom froms a cation and an anion?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
A charge particle that forms when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
Ion.
When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
What is a charge particle that forms when one or more electrons are transferred from one element to another?
It is called an Ion.
What is an atom that has lost one or more of its electrons?
A cation.
What happens to electrons when atoms form an ionic bond?
In an ionic bond, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion. The ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
Roman numerals in a cation represent?
the number of electrons lost when forming an ion and that the cation can form more than one cation.
What is the term for an ion that more protons than electrons?
cation
A positively charged what has more protons than electrons?
That would be a positively charged ion. (cation)
