When a neutral atom loses electrons, it forms an ion with a positive charge. The atom has more protons than electrons which causes the positive charge. A cation is an ion with a positive charge.

What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
Why are ions made?
Ions are made for clothes can not be wrinkly An ion is formed when an atom [or molecule] gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron it acquires negative charge. If the atom or molecule loses an electron it becomes positively charged.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
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.
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
An ion id formed when an atom?
gains or loses an electron.
Ask us anythingAn ion is formed when an atom .?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electrons or electrons. If it gains an electron, it becomes an anion, and if it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
Where is Ions form?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron
Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?
This is half true. An ion is formed when an atom loses OR gains an electron. When it loses an electron it's called cation because it has a positive charge, and if it gains an electron it's called anion because it has a negative charge.
What ion is formed when an atom loses an electron.?
A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
In forming this neither atom gains or loses an electron so no ions are formed?
subscript
If a neutral atom loses or gains an electron what is formed?
An Ion. More specifically if it gains an electron it becomes an anion and it it loses an electron it becones an cation (pronounced Kat-ion)
When bromine atom gains one electron?
a bromide ion is formed, the ion formed has a -1 charge, and the ion formed is an anion
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
Ions formed when a atom gains or loses electrons. An atom that has either a positive or negative charge is known as an ion.
How are ions formed from atoms?
Ions are the formation of unbalanced atoms due to an attraction caused by a near completion of an electron ring in one atom and extra or valence electrons in the outer ring of another. If an atom gains an extra electron its over all charge is negative and the opposite is true for the atom gaining an electron.
