This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
What else can I help you with?
An atom that gives up electrons becomes an?
This atom become a cation (positive charge).
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
How does an atom become a postine ion?
An atom can become a positive ion, or a cation (cat-ion), when it ''gives'' away one or more electrons. An atom becomes a negative ion, or an anion (an-ion), when it gains one or more electrons. Atoms that do this do not have completely filled valence shells, and are therefore reactive. To become unreactive, they have to either gain or lose electrons to have a filled valence shell and thus gain a noble gas configuration. Hope you understand! :D
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 ( - )
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
An atom that gives up electrons becomes an?
This atom become a cation (positive charge).
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
What is an atom or group of atoms what has become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What is a positive sodium ion and sodium atom?
When the neutral atom of sodium lose an electron become the cation Na+.
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
Does an atom become imbalanced with a positive charge?
The stability of the positive ion depends on the atom which removes the electron. As an example, when a sodium atom becomes positive, it is highly stable, on the contrary, when a chlorine atom becomes positive, it is highly unstable.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Atom that loses electons is a ion?
Well im not great at science but i know that a atom which gains or loses an electron will gain a negitive/positive charge and become an ion
What must happen to a atom for it to become an ion with a positive plus 1charge?
It must loose an electron.
An atom is called an ion if there?
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
