The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?
The atom becomes an ion. Also, A positively charged atom is called a Proton A Negatively charged atom is called a Electron
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
Is plutonium positive or negative?
The neutral atom of plutonium has no charge.
What is the name of the bond that takes place when the atom's electrons give or gain electrons?
Ionic bonding- the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This results in ions, as the atoms which gain/lose electrons now have a charge.
Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously?
No, the atom would have to be in an environment where it could gain or loose electrons.
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
What determines whether an atom forms a positive or negative charge in an ionic bond?
If an atom is electropositive (metals, in general), then they will lose electrons and form positive ions. If an atom is electronegative (non-metals, in general), then they will gain electrons and form negative ions.
What are formed when elements gain or loose electrons?
ions
When fluorine atom gains an electron it forms?
When a fluorine atom gains an electron, it forms a negative ion.
What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?
The atom becomes an ion. Also, A positively charged atom is called a Proton A Negatively charged atom is called a Electron
)What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or loose charge?
ions
What is it called when a atom that has gained or lost and electron and now has a net electric charge?
When atoms (elements) gain or loose electrons, they become Ions. If an atom looses electrons it becomes +1 charge, whereas if an atom gains electrons it becomes -1 charge.
How does one explain the formation of ions?
When an atom gains or loses a valence electron, it forms an ion. Atoms form ions in order to help another to obtain a full octet and to stabilize the valence.
What is the particle that an antom can loose or gain in order to form into a charged iron?
Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]

Is plutonium positive or negative?
The neutral atom of plutonium has no charge.
