YES :)
it is an ion
No.... an atom is not an ion.... ions have a positive or negative charge... Atoms are neutral
Electrons are negatively charged (around the nucleus) and protons are positively charged (inside the nucleus)
A charged particle that forms when an atom transfers electrons is an ion. An atom that loses an electron forms a positively charged ion called a cation; an atom that gains an electron forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Hydrogen ion.
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes 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.
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
Ion.
When the number of electrons changes, the atom becomes an ion. An atom becomes a positively charged ion (cation) when it loses electrons and a negatively charged ion (anion) when it gains electrons.
