It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".

Which subatomic particle moves between atoms when charge is transferred?
Valence Electrons
What subatomic particle has the most kinetic energy?
Valence electrons
What subatomic particle determines how a atom interacts with another atom?
The electrons, specifically the valence (outer shell) electrons.
Where are the valance atoms in an atom?
Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom. They are located in the outer energy levels or orbitals, specifically in the highest principal energy level. These valence electrons are involved in chemical bonding and determining the atom's reactivity.
What subatomic particle is involved in bonding when it is shared or transfered?
These particles are the electrons with negative electrical charge.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called a?
an ion.
When an atom gains or loses a valence electrons it becomes a charged particle called a?
Ion
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
When an atom gains or lose a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion.
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Atoms that gain or lose electrons are called ions. If it gains one or more electrons it becomes negative it is called an anion. If it loses one or more electrons and becomes positive it is called a cation.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
ion
A charged particle that forms when one or more valence electrons are transfered from one atom to another?
Ion
What is meant by the term ion when a sodium changes from an atom to an ion?
An ion is a charged particle. A sodium atom is neutral and has one electron in the valence shell. When it loses its valence elctron, it is no longer neutral and becomes Na+ , i.e a charged particle, hence it is an ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When an atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle call a?
Ion.
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
What is an atom that gains or loses an electron and forms an ion?
An atom that gains or loses electrons becomes an ion. NOTE: if the number of electrons becomes more than the number of protons, then it becomes a negatively charged particle (anion) and if the protons becomes larger than the number of electrons, the atom becomes a positively charged particle (cation).
