What is cation and anion?
Cations are positively charged ions. Anions are negatively charged ions. An ion is just an atom with either more electrons than protons (so it would be negatively charged... an anion), or fewer electrons than protons (so it would be positively charged... a cation). It should be noted that not all ions are single atoms. You can have polyatomic (many atom) anions (like SO42-) or cations (like NH4+). These are just molecular compounds that have charge because they have gained or lost electrons.
Electricity is due to the behavior of tiny particles called?
The answer is electrons, however, the flow of any charged particles (such as ions) wil result in an electric current.
Atomic masses of any two elements contain the same number of?
Protons and electrons
Chemical that carries an electrical charge?
electrolyte! any substance that has ions, yeah? like dissolving an acid and its ions dissociate, so it can carry electrons. like lemon juice in an electrochemical cell.
What kind of charge does an electron have when it gains or loses electrons?
Remember- Pro means + Therefore, a proton has a + charge, an electron has a - charge, and neutrons (neutral) have no charge. Normally an atom has an even number of protons and electrons, and can have any number of neutrons and still be the same element. When you add electrons, you end up with a slight negative charge because there are more negatively charged particles than positive ones. When you remove electrons, you get a slight positive charge, because there are now more positive particles than negative ones. This usually occurs as a result of polar covalent bonds. A atom with a slight charge in either direction is called an ion. A negative ion is a anion, while a positive ion is a cation.
How many electrons will oxygen atoms lose or gain when forming an ion?
Under the usual chemical conditions oxygen gains 2 electrons to form ions. However when ionized by electrical discharges or other high energy physical processes oxygen can lose any number of electrons to form ions (even all of its electrons).
When a substances gains electrons is it reduced?
Yes when any substance gains electrons , that substance is now then reduced.
How many electrons will oxygen gain or lose when forming an ion?
Under the usual chemical conditions oxygen gains 2 electrons to form ions. However when ionized by electrical discharges or other high energy physical processes oxygen can lose any number of electrons to form ions (even all of its electrons).
Is retained earnings decreased by gains and losses?
Hi Sir Retained earnings are not shows any effect on your income, because it is same, neither decreased gains or nor increase losses.

When does an atom become ionized?
Why atoms form ions? Atoms form ionsin order to help another to obtain a full octet and to stabilize the valence shell. What happens when an atom forms a ion. charles jimingo
Any substance that gains electrons is?
negative, minus 1 for each electron gained. e.g Cl gains 1 electron so is Cl- where as O gains two electrons so is O2-
How does a atom become a positive ion?
This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
An object becomes positively charged if it?
Its number of Protons is more than Electrons
Does hydrogen form negative ions?
ATOMS THAT ARE NONMETALS WILL FORM ANIONS (NEGATIVE IONS) IF GIVEN THE CHANCE WHEN ELECTRONS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE FORMATION OF CATIONS (POSITIVE IONS).THE ELECTRONS NEED A HOME, EITHER WITH THEIR ORIGINAL ATOMS, OR IF CATIONS FORM, THEN WITH ANIONS THAT MUST FORM AT THE SAME TIME.CHARGE MUST BE CONSERVED IN ANY CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL CHANGE.A negative ion is formed when an atom gains an electron, (because electrons have a negative charge).
Why does argon not form ions?
Atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration of electrons, which is stable. Argon already has such a configuration and is very stable as it is. Any gain or loss of electrons would make it less stable.
Are ions charged and isotopes are not?
An ion is an atom with gained electrons (anion) or which losses electrons (cation). An isotope of an element is an atom with a different number of neutrons but with the same number of protons and electrons. As any other atoms the atom of an isotope can gain or loss electrons.
