Gains and loses heat much more quickly than?
Water gains and loses heat much more quickly than land.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons?
Isotope
What is the name of an atom that gains or loses one or more electrons?
lithium
If a neutral atom loses or gains an electron what is formed?
An Ion. More specifically if it gains an electron it becomes an anion and it it loses an electron it becones an cation (pronounced Kat-ion)
A liquid become a solid when there is more heat This causes the molecules to move rapidly?
Actually, a liquid becomes a solid when it loses heat, not when it gains heat. When heat is removed, the molecules slow down and eventually arrange themselves into a solid crystalline structure.
What is the difference between an atom an isotope and an ion?
an ion is when an element loses or gains one or more electrons. an isotope is when a element loses or gains one or more neutrons. when one or more proton(s) is/are gained or lost, it becomes a different element.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative(-) The halogen atoms , e.g. chlorine, have electron space in their outer most electron energy shell to accept one more electron . This is known as 'Electron Affinity'. (NOT ionisation). An electron is deemed to be of negative charge. So the chlorine atom atom accepting one more electron, gains ONE(1) negative(-) charge. Formulaically this is shown as Cl(g) + e^(-) = Cl^(-) Whereupon the chlorine atom is now referred to as the 'Chloride (an)ion '. (NOT Chlorine ion). NB The other halogen elements behave in a similar manner.
An atom that gains or loses one or more electrons is it called an ion?
Yes, an atom that gains or loses one or more electrons is called an ion. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation. Conversely, when it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion, referred to as an anion. This process of gaining or losing electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
Does Earth heat faster than water?
No, water heats up slower than land because it has a higher specific heat capacity. This means that it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water compared to land or air. As a result, land heats up and cools down more quickly than bodies of water.
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.
When heat loses its heat does it become less dense and sink?
When air loses its heat it actually becomes more dense and sinks which starts a convection current
When an atom combines chemically with another atom it either gains loses or share what?
When an atom combines chemically with another atom, it either gains, loses, or shares electrons to achieve a more stable configuration. This process results in the formation of chemical bonds, which can be ionic or covalent depending on how the electrons are shared or transferred between the atoms involved.
