Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
A positively charged electron is called?
An ion with a positive charge is called a cation. Conversely, an ion with a negative charge is called an anion.
When an element forms a negative ion what happens to its name?
When an element forms a negative ion, the name changes to IDE, fir example: chloride
What is the term used to refer to the charge an ion has?
There is no exact term except negative or positive ion. Perhaps the term you are looking for is ionization.
Is Cl a positively charged ion?
No. Chlorine forms a negative ion, Cl-
What are atoms called when they become charged positively or negative?
In general, an atom with a charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion.A positively charged atom is called a cation and a negatively charged atom is an anion.
What are the charged particles formed called?
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
What is an atom or group of atoms what has become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
A positively charged electron is called?
An ion with a positive charge is called a cation. Conversely, an ion with a negative charge is called an anion.
When an element forms a negative ion what happens to its name?
When an element forms a negative ion, the name changes to IDE, fir example: chloride
What is an electrically charged atom or molecule called?
an ionAn atom is electrically neutral as they have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
a charged particle which is called an ion
What is negatively charged?
A negative charge is the opposite of an ion. An Ion with a negative charge becomes an Anion. Normally with a negative charge they are called Electrons. See electrons for more help
When is an atom called ion?
An ion is a electrically charged atom (negative ion) has more electrons that protons and positive ion has more protons that electrons)
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron it becomes an ion with a charge of negative one. This charge comes from the electron's negativity, which changes the atom's balanced ratio of electrons to protons.
