An ionic bond.
What else can I help you with?
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What forms when atoms gain or lose electrons and become positively and negatively charged?
ions
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
How does a cation form?
A cation forms when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. This loss of electrons leaves the atom with more protons than electrons, creating an overall positive charge.
Do atoms lose and gain electrons when a new substance is forming?
Some atoms lose electrons, some gain electrons, and some share electrons depending on what elements are involved and what compound is forming.
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Which atoms that gain or lose an electron?
For example metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they are called what?
ion
How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
