An ionic bond.

What happen when an atom forms an ion?
For an atom to form an ion, it has to either gain or lose one or more electrons. Usually this happens during a chemical reaction, when an element gains or loses electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An ION . Metal (M) ionises ( loses electrons) M(g) = M^(n-) + ne^(-) M^(n+) is a CATION . Non-metal (X) has electron affinity ( gains electrons) X(g) + ne^(-) = X^(n-) X^(n-) is an ANION .
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
What is a charged particle called that forms when an atom transfers electrons?
An ion.If the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, a cation.If the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, an anion.
What Is a atom that grain or lost atom?
First of all to correct your English grammar. The question should read ; - " What is a**n** atom that g(r)ain or loses electrons?" The answer is an ION . A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION
An ion is formed when am atom?
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
When a atom gains or loses electrons it becomes what?
vall
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When a atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an?
ION A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION NB When an atom becomes a charged species it is no longer an atom, but an ION . An atom has a neutral charge.
What is formed when a single atom of Krypton?
This single atom remain an atom of krypton !
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that gains or loses electrons is now an ION. If it loses electrons to become M^(n+), then it is a CATION. If it gains electrons to become X^(n-), then it is an ANION. NB Atoms that gain or lose electrons are no longer atoms , but IONS.
Does the movement of electrons to atoms or from atoms make ions?
Yes, when electrons move from one atom to another, it can result in the formation of ions. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion, while if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and forms a cation.
