When a Na atom loses one electron it gets a charge of what?
An electron has a charge of -1. When a Sodium (Na) atom loses one electron, it loses a negative and becomes a stable Sodium ion with a charge of +1.
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
What is the ion charge of a helium atom Is it plus 1?
Helium atom is neutral and has no charge. It becomes a positive ion with a charge of +1 when it loses an electron.
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
Explain how an atoms becomes an ion?
an ion is an atom with a posotive or negative charge. this means the atom gains or loses an electron
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 is the gain or loss of electrons?
An electron has a negative charge. If an atom loses an electron it creates an ion with a positive charge. If an atom gains an electron it creates an ion with a negative charge.
If an atom loses 2 electrons when it forms an ion what is its ionic charge?
If an atom loses 2 electrons, it will have a positive 2 charge when it forms an ion. This is because it loses negatively charged electrons, leaving behind a positively charged atom due to an excess of protons.
When are ions formed?
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
