When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
What else can I help you with?
When an atom gives up an electron what is formed?
ions
What kind of chemical bond is formed when atoms gain or lose electron?
Ionic bonding is when one atom gives up 1 or more electrons from its outer shell to another atom's outer shell.
What is hydrogen called when it gives up electrons?
When a hydrogen atom loses an electron, it is simply a proton.
What happens to a molecule that gives up an electron?
when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.
A molecule that gives up an elecron becomes?
Well if a atom loses or gains an electron it becomes an ion - a positively of negatively charged atom.
What is formed in a metallic when atoms give up electrons?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
An atom gives up an electron to form a positive ion?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons. This positive ion is called a cation. The process of losing an electron is called ionization.
Potassium and iodine have formed a bond Prior to this the potassium gave up an electron It became a?
In this scenario, the potassium atom has given up an electron to become a positively charged potassium ion (K+). This ion has formed an ionic bond with the iodine atom, which accepted the electron to become a negatively charged iodide ion (I-). The attraction between the opposite charges of the ions is what holds them together in a stable compound.
Is an atom made up of only one atom?
atom is made up of subatomic particles:proton,electron and neutron.
If an atom gives up an electron does it it have a positive charge?
Yes. It becomes a cation (a positive ion). Yes. Each positively charged proton in the nucleus must be cancelled out by a negatively charged electron, or else any noncancelled proton's positive charge will give its atom a positive charge. Likewise the atom that gains the lost electron will have more negatives than positives and will gain a negative charge.
When will an atom give up an electron?
An atom will give up an electron when it is more stable by achieving a full outer electron shell. This typically occurs when the atom is in an ionic bond or is trying to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
What takes up most of the space of the atom?
The electron cloud or electron shell
