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, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
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
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 subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
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.
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.
