How are atoms that are neutral in charge?
Atoms that are neutral in charge have the same quantity of protons and electrons. Negative ions have extra electrons, and positive ions are missing electrons.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
Atoms become magnets when there?
electrons are properly arranged
Does boron become positive or negative when it loses electrons?
All atoms become positive ions when they lose electrons, and negative when they gain electrons.
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.

When atoms lose electrons in an ionic bond what do they become?
These atoms become anions.
Electrons in bonds remain localized between two atoms Electrons in bonds can become delocalized between more than two atoms?
Electrons in SIGMA bonds remain localized between two atoms, Electrons in PI bonds can become delocalized between more than two atoms?
When atoms become magnets their what are properly arranged?
their electrons

When atoms become ions their outer most shells of electrons become?
they add or loose electrons from the outer most shells
What do some atoms share to become stable?
I do believe the answer is electrons.
What are atoms which lose electrons to become stable known as?
cations
