What difference between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What are differences between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What is an atom that has given up or gained electrons?
Atoms that have lost or gained one or more electrons are called ions.An atom that has gained and electron is an anion; and atom that has lost an electron is a cation. Gaining an electron means the anion has a negative charge; losing one or more electrons means the atom has a positive charge.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
What is an atom that has lost or gained an electron and now carries a positive or negative charge called?
I believe the answer your looking for in an Ion.An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.
What is an atom that is no longer nutreal because is has gained or lost an electron?
An atom that has gained or lost an electron becomes an ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
When an electron is gained, the atom becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. When an electron is lost, the atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
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.
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
If an atom losses a electron it is?
A positive ion.
What does an atom that has lost or gained an electron become?
Generically an "ion", specifically gained an electron an "anion", lost and electron a "cation".
