When an object gains or loses electrons it has a?
It's safe to say if an object gains or loses electrons its electric charge has changed. If it was overall electrically neutral before it lost electrons, it would then have a positive charge; if it acquired electrons from initially being neutral, it would have a negative charge. At the atomic level this is called ionization.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that gains or loses electrons is now an ION. If it loses electrons to become M^(n+), then it is a CATION. If it gains electrons to become X^(n-), then it is an ANION. NB Atoms that gain or lose electrons are no longer atoms , but IONS.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
When atoms loses or gains electrons it becomes a?
An ion.
When a atom gains or loses electrons it becomes what?
vall
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An ION . Metal (M) ionises ( loses electrons) M(g) = M^(n-) + ne^(-) M^(n+) is a CATION . Non-metal (X) has electron affinity ( gains electrons) X(g) + ne^(-) = X^(n-) X^(n-) is an ANION .
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Why does an ion form?
The particle in question gains or loses electrons.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons?
Isotope
What type of bond gains and loses electrons?
These are ionic bonds.
What forms when atom gains or loses electrons?
An ionic bond.
