What type of ion forms when an atom loses protons?
Atoms NEVER lose protons, just electrons.
Calcium sulfide forms when calcium loses 2 valence electrons to sulfur What type of a bond is formed?
ionic
Calcium sulfide forms when calcium loses 2 valence electrons to sulfur what type of bond is formed?
An ionic bond.
What type of ion forms when atom lose electrons?
Losing an ion creates a positive charge. This forms a positive ion.
What type of bond gains and loses electrons?
These are ionic bonds.
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
Calcium sulfide forms when calcium loses 2 valence electrons to sulfur.what type of a bond is formed?
The bond is an ionic bond since the bond is between a non-metal and a metal.
When an atom loses or gain this type of particle the mass nbr changes?
electrons
What type of ion is when an atom loses electrons?
A positive ion. Originally atoms have a neutral charge with equal amount of electrons and protons. If atom loses electrons, it still has the same amount of protons so it becomes a positive ion
Which type of bond forms an electron?
The attraction between positive ions and surronding mobile electrons forms which type of bond?
Which type of element is more likely to gain electrons when it forms bonds?
nonmetals
What type of element is most likely to gain electrons when it is forms bonds?
metals
