In a hypo tonic solution will a cell gain or lose water or no net change?
The cell will not loose or gain water.An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
Either it loose electron or gain and if loose then it get positive charge and if gain then be negatively charged ion
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
What is hypotonic salt solution?
It's a solution that has a lower concentration of salts than your body. If you were to drink it, you would loose salts and/or gain water.

How many rivers gain and loose water to the ground?
All of them
What would happen to a loin fish in a hypertonic solution?
The solution will gain water from the fish, till the fish shrinks, and if the fish is not removed from the solution, the fish will die
A cell that has neither a net gain nor a net lose of water when it is immersed in a solution is?
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons
Why do atoms gain loose or share electrons?
Atom loose or gain electron to make its octet complete. It is done to achieve inert state.
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
Either it loose electron or gain and if loose then it get positive charge and if gain then be negatively charged ion
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
What are formed when elements gain or loose electrons?
ions
