Ions are formed by the gain OR loss of an electron.
Electrons
(Ions are formed when a neutral atom gains or loses electrons.)
When the number of electrons and protons in an atom isn't equal, you have an ion. Protons don't really get transferred, so electrons are probably the answer you're looking for.
The electron.
u a loser to ask that question
mass number
Subatomic particles.
Electrons are either transferred between atoms to form ionic bonds or shared between atoms to form covalent bonds. Either way, bonds are formed through electrons.
In a covalent bond electrons are shared between atoms. In an ionic bond electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in oppositely charged ions.
In aqueous form, the ionic compounds dissolve into there separate ions, and the charge can be transferred between the ions
When hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas dissolves in water, hydronium ions (H3O+) and a chloride ions (Cl-) form. To form the hydronium ions, the hydrogen atoms of the HCl gas are transferred to the water molecule to form the hydronium ions.
no an ion is a electrically charged atom
Probable you think to ions but ions are not subatomic particles.
Subatomic particles are protons, neutrons and electrons.
Probable you think to ions but ions are not subatomic particles.
Ions have more or less electrons than a neutral atom.

Electrons are either transferred between atoms to form ionic bonds or shared between atoms to form covalent bonds. Either way, bonds are formed through electrons.
Protons and neutrons with no electrons are an-ions. Electron superior atoms are considered Cat-ions. So all depending on what is superior with-in the atom.

No, the particles in the nucleus are called protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral or no charge) and are made of quarks
