The iron atom loses two(2) electrons to be come the Iron ION.
Fe = Fe^(2+) + 2e^-
NB An atom , when it becomes a charged spacied , is no longer an atom , but an ION.
Positively charged ions are CATIONS
Negatively charged ions are ANIONS.

An amtom undergoes a reaction ant attains a more stable from how do you know is it was chemical or nuclear reaction?
If an atom undergoes a reaction and attains a more stable form, you know if the reaction was a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction by studying what exactly happened to the atom.
What causes atom to react with each other?
A chemical reaction
How do you form a fluorine atom?
By Chemical Reaction
What happens when a hydrogen atpm atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction?
When a hydrogen atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction, it gains an electron.
What happens to the atom in a chemical reaction to the product side?
In he chemical reaction the atoms aren;t present anylonger

During a chemical reaction an iron atom became the ion Fe 2 plus . What happened to the iron atom?
If Fe becomes Fe^2+ it has lost 2 electrons, and so the Fe has been OXIDIZED.
What happened to the iron atom when chemical reaction occurred and an iron atom become the ion Fe?
Two or three electrons are lost.
What causes atom to react with each other?
A chemical reaction

How does the name of an atom change when a compound is formed?
This is a chemical change, a chemical reaction.
The mass of an atom increases or decreases during a chemical reaction?
the mass increases during a chemical reaction. because if heated or cooled then it would put on more mass for the atom.
Which part of an atom or ion takes part in a chemical reaction?
The valence electrons are the part that takes place in a chemical reaction.
