If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
When Na and Cl combine to form a compound which atom will become a cation?
Sodium will become a cation with a 1+ charge and the formula Na+.
What would make an atom of 12 protons and electrons a positive two cation?
A cation is a positive ion. To get 2 positive charges the atom would need to lose 2 electrons. As its configuration is 2,8,2, this is what it is likely to do when it reacts as the resulting ion has an inert gas structure.
What kind of charge would a sodium atom have if it lost one electron?
Sodium become a cation (positive charge) - Na+.
What does a atom become when it looses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses valence (outermost shell) electrons is referred to as an ION.
Is an atom of potassium most likely to become a cation or an anion?
A potassium atom will become a cation.
If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
An atom that has lost two electrons is called?
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
When an atom loses an electron become a?
It becomes a cation.
What kind of charge does an atom have after losing an electron?
This atom become a cation (positive).
An atom that gives up electrons becomes an?
This atom become a cation (positive charge).
When Na and Cl combine to form a compound which atom will become a cation?
Sodium will become a cation with a 1+ charge and the formula Na+.
When an atoms loses an electron it?
The atom is said to be ionized. (It can also be said to be oxidised.)
What happens when a atom losses a electron?
The neutral atom become an ion (cation) with the charge +1.
What happens when a neutral atom becomes positive?
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
What type of atom will get a positive charge and become a cation?
metal atoms
What atom is potassium most likelto form a Anion or Cation?
Potassium will most likely form a cation with a +1 charge.
