When atoms lose or gain electrons they are called what?
ion
How many electrons are lost or gained in the element o when they form ions?
atoms gain and lose electrons, so they can have a full outer shell of 8 electrons (or two electrons if its the innermost shell) when atoms lose electrons it is called oxidation and when they gain electrons they are said to be reduced. OIL RIG is most commonly used to help remember that oxidation is loss and reduction is gain of electons. when atoms lose electrons they are left with a positive charge and when they can electrons they have a negative charge.
When neutral molecules gain or lose electrons are called?
An ion.
What is it if hydrogen has 2 electrons?
It is called hydride, or H-.
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.

The gain of electrons by an element is called what?
The loss of an electron is called oxidation. Its opposite is reduction.The loss of an electron increases the charge by +1.
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
What structure will atoms have after losing of gaining electrons?
If atoms lose electrons they will have a positively charged ion called a cation. If they gain electrons, they will have a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Reactions in which electrons are transferred between atoms?
This is called a redox reaction, where one molecule gains electrons and one molecule loses electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and oxidation the gain of electrons. It can be remembered as OILRIG (Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain).
Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?
Non-metals gain electrons.
How are negative and positive ions made?
A negative ion (anion) is formed after gain of electrons in the atom.A positive ion (cation) is formed after loss of electrons from the atom.
