Cations form when an atom gains electrons?
Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.
What happens when cations form?
an atom loses electrons and becomes positivly charged
A magnesium atom is converted to a magnesium ion when the atom?
Loses two electrons.
When an atom loses one or more electrons to form a positive ion the energy is?
When an atom loses one or more electrons to form a positive ion, the energy required is known as ionization energy. This is the energy needed to remove an electron from the atom.
What is the name of an atom that loses one or more electrons?
An atom that loses one or more electrons is an ion, specifically a cation.
When is a positive ion form?
A positive ion is formed when an atom loses one or more then electrons.
How does atoms become charged?
An atom becomes charged when it gains or loses electrons to form an octet.
Are ion stable?
because they form in compund where one atom loses electrons and other gains.
When are ions formed?
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
What kind of chemical bond will be formed between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons?
An ionic bond will form between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons. Atom a becomes a positively charged ion (cation) and atom b becomes a negatively charged ion (anion), resulting in an electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions.
An ion is formed when am atom?
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust each iron atom.?
In that reaction, each iron atom loses three electrons.
