Ion.

∙ 14y agoan electronically charged particle is called an ion. non-metals tend to gain electrons and become negatively charged
metals (such as those in group 1 of the Periodic Table) tend to lose electrons
in electrolysis the electrolyte has to be molten or aqueous so that the ions are free and can conduct electricity.
hope its kinda answered your question

If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
Is a hole a fundamental particle in an atom?
No a "hole" is not a particle, in solid state electronics a "hole" is a positively charged virtual charge carrier caused by the absence of an electron (which is a particle) from the atom's valence band. A "hole" has some properties making it act similar to a particle, but it is not one.
What is an atom that gains or loses an electron and forms an ion?
An atom that gains or loses electrons becomes an ion. NOTE: if the number of electrons becomes more than the number of protons, then it becomes a negatively charged particle (anion) and if the protons becomes larger than the number of electrons, the atom becomes a positively charged particle (cation).
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its valence shell?
It becomes an ion.
Subatomic particles in chemical reactions?
Which particles are involved when atoms form molecules ? All matter consists of atoms. The primary particles involved are electrons, which are charged negatively; protons that are positively charged, and neutrons; they have no charge. These are all that have importance in chemistry. There are some other very small particles, but they are studied by physicists in the field of nuclear particle physics. Electrons are the only particle involved in chemical reactions. Atoms form compounds using chemical reactions.

When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
What is meant by the term ion when a sodium changes from an atom to 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 loses a valence electron it becomes a charge particle called a?
Ion.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called a?
an ion.

Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called what?
It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Atoms that gain or lose electrons are called ions. If it gains one or more electrons it becomes negative it is called an anion. If it loses one or more electrons and becomes positive it is called a cation.
