Metallic has a tendency to lose electrons and form cations. Metallic is highly electrical and a thermal conductor. Metallic bonding occurs as a result of electromagnetism.

The loss of one or more electrons from an atom is called?

The loss of one or more electrons from an atom is called ionization. This process results in the formation of a positively charged ion known as a cation.


Is oxidation the loss of oxygen?

No, oxidation is the loss of electrons. It is a chemical reaction in which a substance loses one or more electrons. Oxygen is often involved in oxidation reactions, but the definition refers to the loss of electrons rather than oxygen itself.


When an atom gains an electron the resulting particle is called what?

A cation is a positively charged particle formed by the loss of one or more electrons from an atom.


What is formed by losing one or more electrons?

An ion is formed by losing one or more electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation.


How do you get different charges?

Different charges result from the loss of one or more electrons, or the gaining of one or more electrons forming ions. Atoms that lose electrons develop a positive charge equal to the number of electrons lost. Atoms that gain electrons develop a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.


When an atom loses one or more electrons this atom becomes a?

An atom which has lost an electrons forms a positive ion which is called cation. ANSWER: ADDENDUM A nucleus does not loose an electrons it just has temporarily misplaced an electrons by am external force. That electron will be practically replace immediately by an electron from the next nucleus that is how electron current is generated and sustained


When two atoms share one or more electrons is called?

Ion


What is it called what an atom loses one or more electrons?

ion/cation


What is a ion that lost its electron?

A cation is an ion which has less electrons than protons, therefore it has a net positive charge. The atom (or molecule) has given up 1 or more electrons to form the ion. An ion which has gained 1 or more electrons (and therefore has net negative charge) is called an anion.


What do you call electrically charged particles that result from the loss of one or more electrons by a parent atom?

Ions. Specifically Cations. Particles that gain electrons are anions.


Define and ion and explain how an ion is formed?

An ion is a charged particle that results from the loss or gain of electrons in an atom. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. This process of gaining or losing electrons can occur through chemical reactions or through exposure to external influences like electromagnetic fields.


What would naturally form a cation?

The loss of one or more electrons causes the formation of a cation, or positive ion.
