If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
Why when ions gain it becomes negative and when ion loses it becomes positive?
Electrons are negatively charged. When an atom gains an electron it gains this negative charge, and so it becomes negative. When it loses it again it has lost that negative charge and becomes more positive.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
When an atom loses a negative charge, when it loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?
Yes. A particle that loses an electron becomes an ion with a positive charge. A particle that gains an electron becomes an ion with a negative charge.
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
It can be positive or negative depending on if the atom loses or gains an electron. If it gains an electron it becomes negative and if it loses an electron it becomes positive.
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
What happens when you lose or gain an electron?
As a neutral atom lose an electron then it becomes a positive ion As it gains an electron then it becomes a negative ion
Why when ions gain it becomes negative and when ion loses it becomes positive?
Electrons are negatively charged. When an atom gains an electron it gains this negative charge, and so it becomes negative. When it loses it again it has lost that negative charge and becomes more positive.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
What happens when an atom loses n electron?
If the atom was not a negative ion prior to losing an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
Is litiuim a neagative ion?
No. If lithium loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion, not negative ion.
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
When an atom loses a negative charge, when it loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
When a atom has a positive or negative charge beause it lost or gained an electron is a?
An atom has a postitive charge when it loses an electron and a negative when it gains one. It then becomes an ion through this process.
