What form when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged?
If you are asking what it is called, when an atom looses or gains electrons it is called an ion. Electrons are negative, so when an atom looses electrons it becomes more positive and is called an cation. So, when an atom gains electrons it becomes more negative and is called an anion.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
What is the bridge called between the negative electrons and the positive atoms?
It is called a Salt Bridge
What charge is electrons?
Electrons charge is a negative
What charge does as electron have?
Electrons are the negatively charged particles of an atom. Together, all electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances out the positively charged atoms called protons.
What is the negative charge in an atom called?
An atom with negative charge is called an anion.
What a negative charge?
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
What are the negative particles of isotopes called?
These particles are electrons.
Where are the electrons of an atom called?
they are the negative particles in an atom
What are positive and negative ions called?
Positive ions are called cations. Negative ions are called anions.
What particles will have a negative charge?
An electron has a negative charge. Also an ion in which there are more electrons than protons has a negative charge. Such an ion is called as anion.
How can an atom have a negative part?
An atom has a negative part (called electrons) because it has a positive part also (called protons), so the electrons make it electrically neutral.
What are the electrons in the outmost shell of an atom called?
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
What form when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged?
If you are asking what it is called, when an atom looses or gains electrons it is called an ion. Electrons are negative, so when an atom looses electrons it becomes more positive and is called an cation. So, when an atom gains electrons it becomes more negative and is called an anion.
What is it called when gain of electrons or H?
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
Pieces of atoms that carry a negative charge?
They are called electrons.
What is the negative charged atomic particle of an atom called?
Electrons
