What else can I help you with?
When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?
THe lithoium atom has IONISED ( lost) an electron, to become the lithium ION.
What happens when an atom loses an electron from its outer most shell?
well The electrons on that shell have nowhere to go so they jump off and become ionised
If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?
An atom can become positively charged by losing an electron, resulting in more protons than electrons. Conversely, an atom can become negatively charged by gaining an electron, which creates an excess of electrons compared to protons.
How does an atom become a positively charged ion?
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.
What is an atom or group of atoms that become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
If a chlorine atom attracted an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become?
Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.
An atom or group that has become electriclly charged?
ion
How does an atom become a positively-charged ion?
sht
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of what?
A neutral atom could become a positively charged particle through the loss of one or more electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because there are more protons than electrons in the atom, creating an overall positive charge.
