How many electrons does the neutral atom gain or lose when Cr3 plus forms?
When Cr3+ forms, the neutral atom (chromium) loses 3 electrons. This happens because the neutral chromium atom has 24 electrons, but when it forms Cr3+, it loses 3 electrons to have a total of 21 electrons.
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
When an atom loses electrons though an ionic bond it becomes what?
neutral
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 a neutral atom loses an electron what happens to its size?
When a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion. The loss of an electron reduces the electron-electron repulsion, causing the remaining electrons to be more strongly attracted to the nucleus. This contraction in electron cloud typically results in a smaller ionic size compared to the neutral atom.
When a neutral atom undergoes oxidation the atoms oxidation state?
When a neutral atom undergoes oxidation, it loses electrons, resulting in an increase in the atom's oxidation state. This increase reflects the loss of negatively charged electrons and a shift towards a more positive oxidation state.
What is the ionic charge of neutral calcium that contains 20 protons 20 neutrons and 20 electrons and loses two electrons?
A neutral calcium atom that loses two electrons has a +2 charge.
What happens to the charge of an atom that loses electrons?
it gets positive charge
What happens when it loses electrons?
all elements want to have a full valence shell and when an atom loses electrons it is said to become a cation.
What happens to the atom that causes a neutral object to become charged?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes ionized and can create a charged object when it interacts with other atoms. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged, and if it gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged. This imbalance of electrons between atoms creates an electric charge on the object.
What happens when cations form?
an atom loses electrons and becomes positivly charged
What happens when an atom loses and electrons?
Well, an atom that loses an electron does not just "lose" it in space, the electron is taken away by another atom or molecule. So the electron sticks to the new molecule and forms an ion with a charge (given that the original atom was a neutral one). When this happens inside the body some really dangerous compounds can be formed, these are called "free radicals"
