Based on their placement on the periodic table what about ion formation is correct There is more than one correct statement?
A Group 6A element gains two electrons A Group 2A element loses two electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons group 1a element loses one electron group 7a gains one electron
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
An electron jumps to a new energy level when?
the atom gains or loses energy
Can the oxidation number of an element change?
Yes, it can. When the element loses electron, the oxidation number increases and when it gains electron, the oxidation number decreases.

A Group 6A element gains two electrons A Group 2A element loses two electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons group 1a element loses one electron group 7a gains one electron
How many electron potassium gains or loses?
Potassium loses one electron.
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)
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
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.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
It can be positive or negative depending on if the atom loses or gains an electron. If it gains an electron it becomes negative and if it loses an electron it becomes positive.
What kind of bond forms when an atom loses or gains an electron?
no
