What else can I help you with?
what happens to an atoms charge when it loses its electrons?
It becomes positive.
What happens when magnesium forms it's ion?
it loses 2 electrons
What happens to the charge of an atom that loses electrons?
it gets positive charge
What happens when cations form?
an atom loses electrons and becomes positivly charged
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
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.
What happens to the mass of an atom when it loses two electrons?
The mass become lower but the difference is not significant.
What happens If a neutral atom loses electrons?
It becomes a positively charged ion known as a cation.
What are family that loses electrons eastiest?
The category that loses electrons easily is the metals.
What happens if atom loses electron?
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
What happens to the object that loses electrons after rubbing 2 objects together?
The object that loses electrons becomes positively charged, as it has more positive protons than negative electrons. This imbalance in charge may cause the object to attract other objects with a negative charge.
What happens to an element if it becomes a cation?
Cations are formed when elements lose electrons. Then they get positively charged.
