What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
a charged particle which is called an ion
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
What is the kind of decay that's results in the formation of a different element?
Alpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its atomic nuclei.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons it becomes a particle called an?
ion
When a cation is formed from a representative element?
A cation is an ion with a net positive charge. Thus when a cation is formed, it has shed electrons in one manner or another.
What happens to an element if it becomes a cation?
Cations are formed when elements lose electrons. Then they get positively charged.
What is the particle formed in lithium when loses one electron?
If one electron is removed from the lithium atom then the atom will become an ion (I believe) which is a positively charged particle.
Does an ion of an element lose or gain protons to become a charged particle?
No, it becomes a new element.When a particle loses an electron it becomes an ion.
An atom releses an bata particle. what two things does an atom lose. the element becomes?
It loses 2 proton and 2 nutron
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
a charged particle which is called an ion
What change is atomic number occurs when a nucleus emits an alpha particle?
An alpha particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons, so when an atom loses an alpha particle, its mass number decreases by four. However, since the atom loses two protons, it is now a different element. It is now the element with an atomic number minus the two protons.
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
An ion is formed when am atom?
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
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.

Why does an ion form?
The particle in question gains or loses electrons.
