An atom becomes charged when it gains or loses electrons to form an octet.
What else can I help you with?
How does matter become chaged?
Matter becomes charged by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes charged and is referred to as an ion. Atoms with an excess of electrons become negatively charged, while atoms with a deficit of electrons become positively charged.
If two chlorine atoms were to attract electrons from two calcium atoms the chlorine atoms would become charged?
negatively
What give or take electrons?
Atoms can gain or lose electrons to become charged particles called ions. When atoms gain electrons, they become negatively charged ions, while atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions. This transfer of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable state by filling their outer electron shell.
In what ways can neutral atoms become charged?
idk :D
If two chlorine atoms were to attract electrons from two calcium atoms the chlorine atoms would become charged.?
negatively
If two chlorine atoms were to attract electrons from two calcium atoms the chlorine atoms would become what charged?
The chlorine atoms would become negatively charged because they would gain electrons from the calcium atoms, resulting in an excess of electrons and a net negative charge.
When atoms lose electrons through an ionic bond they become?
Positive ions (or cations) - They are reducers.
What is an atom or group of atoms that become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
How does an atom become a positively charged ion?
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.
Atoms that combine if they become positively or negatively charged have what bonds?
Ionic bonds.
How do you charge atoms?
Atoms cannot be charged directly. However, they can become charged by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged (anion), and when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (cation).
What do atoms become when they lose or gain an electron?
When atoms lose or gain an electron, they become ions. If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
