What would an atom become if it lost or gained a proton?
a new element
How can you find the correct number of electrons in the atom?
Often there are the same number of electrons as there are protons. Exceptions to this are called ions, which have gained or lost an electron (can't be a proton lost or gained, that would change the element).
What is the atoms electron equal numbers of?
They are equal to the Proton number, giving the atom a net charge of 0.If electrons are gained or lost, then it's not an atom anymore, it's an Ion.
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
What are differences between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.

What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
An atom that has gained or lost electrons is referred to as what?
An ion
When an atom is reduced what is gained or lost?
Just electron
What does an atom that has lost or gained an electron become?
Generically an "ion", specifically gained an electron an "anion", lost and electron a "cation".
What is a hydrogen atom that has lost an electron and is responsible for producing properties of acid?
proton
