How is cation is form?
A cation is formed by the loss of an electron from the valence shell of an atom.
What will be the nature of charge on an atom when it looses an electron or gain an electron?
Aluminum, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus, iodine, and neon
Will Li gain or lose when reacting to Cl?
Li loses one electrons. Cl gains the electron.
When a compound serves as an electron acceptor it is oxidized?
No gain of electron is reduction. An atom that gains electrons is reduced in a chemical reaction. OIL RIG; oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
Why property makes the alkali metals very reactive?
The alkali metals have a low electronegativity and they easily loss an electron.
What has the author Rik Brydson written?
Rik Brydson has written: 'Electron energy loss spectroscopy' -- subject(s): Electron energy loss spectroscopy
How is cation is form?
A cation is formed by the loss of an electron from the valence shell of an atom.
How is a charge made (science)?
By the loss or gain of an electron.
If a neutral atom becomes positively charged has it been oxidized or reduced?
With the loss of electron a neutral atom becomes positive ion and loss of electron is known as oxidation.
What is an ion of a metal formed by electron loss called?
cation
Why potassium is a reactive element?
Because potassium loss easily an electron.
What is oxidation according to electronic concept?
loss of electron in electronegativity ion
What does the addition of an electron to sodium form?
A new ionic species - Na- (it does not exist) Perhaps you meant the loss of an electron? In this case, sodium readily loses an electron to form Na+.
What is the gain or loss of electrons?
An electron has a negative charge. If an atom loses an electron it creates an ion with a positive charge. If an atom gains an electron it creates an ion with a negative charge.
What will be the nature of charge on an atom when it looses an electron or gain an electron?
Aluminum, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus, iodine, and neon
10 What occurs in an atom to produce an ion?
To produce a negative ion (anion): an electron is gained. To produce a positive ion (cation): an electron is loss.
What happens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
It loses mass.
