Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
Can an atom gain or lose protons why or why not?
No, an atom cannot gain or lose protons. Protons are the positively charged particles within the nucleus of an atom, and changing the number of protons would change the atom's identity. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons, which affects their charge but not their identity.
What type of ion forms when an atom loses protons?
Atoms NEVER lose protons, just electrons.
Is this true atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
i really don't know so can someone answer it that knows
What is lose?
Lose energy is a mix between electrons and protons coming together to create one large explosion "the big bang"...(.)(.)

How many protons and neutrons are in chlorine and sodium'?
The number of protons and neutrons is not changed; sodium lose one electron and chlorine gain an electron.
When an atom decays radioactively does it lose protons?
There are various different forms of radioactive decay, and there is one which involves the loss of protons by emission of an alpha particle, which is equivalent to a helium nucleus, containing two protons and two neutrons.
Do atoms of nonmetals lose protons when they form ionic bonds?
No, atoms of nonmetals do not lose protons when they form ionic bonds. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell, becoming negatively charged ions (anions) in ionic bonds.
Why don't elements stay the same if they lose a proton?
The element won't stay the same because the element is determined by its number of protons. The number of protons is also the atomic number.
What happens when you lose or gain an electron?
When you lose an electron, you become positively charged because you have more protons than electrons. When you gain an electron, you become negatively charged because you have more electrons than protons. This process is known as ionization.
Why does rust change a magnet's power of attraction?
The oxidation causes magnets to lose protons that are essential for magnetic attraction
