A magnesium atom is converted to a magnesium ion when the atom?
Loses two electrons.
What is the name of an atom that loses one or more electrons?
An atom that loses one or more electrons is an ion, specifically a cation.
When are ions formed?
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
An ion is formed when am atom?
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
What is formed when a single atom of Krypton?
This single atom remain an atom of krypton !
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Cations form when an atom gains electrons?
Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.
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.
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 an atom loses an electrons what will its resulting charge be?
An atom that loses one or more electrons becomes positively charged, because the number of protons (+) in the nucleus will outnumber the electrons (-).
