What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
When an atom loses an electron and become negatively charged we refer to it as an?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
How many electron potassium gains or loses?
Potassium loses one electron.
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
Does lithium lose an electron?
It loses an electron.
When one atom loses an electron and another accepts that electron?
It depends on the exact situation. Probably ions Well this answer is vaguely correct. When an atom gains or loses an electron it becomes an ion. Ions with a net positive charge are called cations and ions with a net negative charge are anions. This allows for an ionic bond to occur. An ionic bond occurs when an anion binds with a cation.
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been?
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been ionized and oxidized.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
Ions formed when a atom gains or loses electrons. An atom that has either a positive or negative charge is known as an ion.
What happens when a atom loses an electron?
Forms an ion. e.g if chlorine loses an electron it will go form Cl2 ---> cl2+
What happens when an loses an electron?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
