When an ionic bond occurs, the valence electrons from the cation (metal) are transferred to the anion (non-metal) causing the non-metal to gain more electrons than it has protons, giving it a negative charge, therefore making it a negative ion.
d.metal atoms become ions by losing electrons from their outer most shell.
the metal atoms become positively charged as they lose electrons to become ions.
there is more protons than electrons hence causing the atom to become more positive.
Metals become cations when they loss electrons.
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
Its charge lose an negative charge. So it is positively charged. +1
Since electrons are negatively charged, losing an electron will make the hydrogen atom become a positively charged ion.
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
When an atom loses a negative charge, when it loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
Its charge lose an negative charge. So it is positively charged. +1
Since electrons are negatively charged, losing an electron will make the hydrogen atom become a positively charged ion.
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged 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.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
An ion
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
A non metal needs to GAIN electrons to form an ion
