What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
What happens when an atom that looses an electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
An ionic molecule is formed.
What happens when atom looses electron?
If an atom loosed electrons then it becomes an ion. The electrical charge in the atom becomes a positive ion.
How does an atom maintain a positive charge?
if it looses an electron
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
An electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atoms chemical properties?
This electron is a valance electron.
What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons and is no longer neutral?
Valance electron
What happens to an atom when it looses an electron?
If an atom loses an electron, its charge becomes a positive. (The process of losing an electron is called OXIDATION, by the way.) Depending on the electron configuration, the atom could become "happy" (because its outer ring is now empty) or it could want to bond with another atom to fill ALL of the spots on its outer electron ring.
What is the charge of a valance electron?
The charge of a valence Electron is negative. The word valence means the combining power of atoms: the combining power of atoms or groups measured by the number of electrons the atom or group will receive, give up, or share in forming a compound. Therfore nothing changes the electrons charge. The electrons charge will always be negative no matter what. Electrons make up the stable atoms. If it the atom gains or looses an electron it becomes either a positive (looses an electron) or negative (gains an electron) ion.
What type of bond is it when one atom gains or loses a valance electron from a different atom?
metallic bond
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
What is meant by valency orbit and valency electron?
A valance electron is one that is associated with an atom. The valence orbit is the one that electron travels in.
