What else can I help you with?
What happens to materials that become positive recharge?
they are ions
What class of atoms usually become positive ions?
metals
Atoms with a positive or negative charge are called ions?
That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
What are metals called after they lose electrons?
They become cations, positive ions.
Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?
Non-metals typically become negative ions when they form ions because they gain electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell. This results in a negative charge due to the extra electrons present in the ion.
When ions lose electrons in an ionic bond they become what?
That is called a cation. They then have a positive charge.
What does positive ion mean?
A positive ion, also known as a cation, has a positive nuclear charge. For example, Na+1, Mg+2, and Al+3 are all positive ions, because they tend to give away electrons to have a full eight electrons in its last shell and become stable. O-2, F-1, and I-1 are all anions, negatively charged ions. They tend to gain electrons to have a full eight electrons in its last shell and become stable.
If neutral atoms become positive ions they?
have lost electrons
Are cations positive ions that are nonmetals?
Cations are electrically positive ions
When atoms lose electrons through an ionic bond they become?
Positive ions (or cations) - They are reducers.
If zinc electrode is dipped in zinc sulphate the electrode will become positive or negative?
if it is dipped the zinc electrode looses the electron in to the solution as zinc ions and it attains negative charge on th electrode and it absorb the positive ions in the solution.so w can see a bundle of positive ions just around the zinc electrode
Do metals form positive ions?
No, metals do not form negative ions: Only non-metals form negative ions - this ability (to gain electrons) is intrinsic to the nature of non-metals. Only metals form positive ions - this ability (to lose electrons) is intrinsic to the nature of metals. A positive ion (cation) is formed by removing electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms. A negative ion (anion) is formed by gaining electron(s) an atom or group of atoms.
