What types of ions are formed from groups of covalently bonded atoms which have gained or lost electrons?

It depends! if an ion has 7 electrons on its outter region and it decides to gain 1 that would make it stable! if you have 8 on your second region and have an extra electron, you can loose it and the ion will be stable again!

∙ 11y agoYou're thinking of polyatomic ions. These are groups of (usually) covalently bonded atoms which function together as a single unit, with a single overall charge, usually negative. They bond ionically with metals and occasionally other polyatomic ions that have a positive charge (though there aren't many like that.) Common examples are sulfate (SO4-2), hydroxide (OH-1) and phosphate (PO4-3).

Cations are positively charged ions formed by losing electrons.

Thus sulfuric acid gives sulfate (-) and H (+) [ or really H3O+].

What are charged particles when atoms gain or lose electrons?
An atom that has lost or gained electrons is known generally as an ion. More specifically, an atom that has lost electrons becomes a cation. It has a positive charge. An atom that has gained electrons becomes an anion. An anion has a negative charge.
What is formed when an atom gains or looses an electrons?
usually a new substance is formed, but the substance formed depends on the reagants used molecule
How many electrons are gained when going from Al to Al3 plus?
-3 electrons are gained,i.e,3 electrons are lost by Al and 3 electrons are gained by the other atom nearby.
How is the valency of oxygen two?
Since valency of oxide is 2 which is formed when electrons are gained by oxygen , hence valency of oxygen is also 2
The electrons available to be lost gained or shared when atoms form compounds are called?
The bond formed when two atoms have a give-take relationship in relation to electrons is called ionic bonding. This will mostly happens so that atoms can gain stability.
Are monatomic ions covalently bonded atoms that have either gained or lost electrons?
No. Monatomic means there is only a single atom, this cannot be covalently bonded as this implies there are two or more atoms. Yes they have either gained or lost electrons.

What is formed if electrons are gained or lost?
An ionic bond between the ions (formed from the atoms).
What type of bond is formed when electrons are gained and lost?
Ionic bonds are formed between positively charged atoms (lost electrons) and negatively charged atoms (gained electrons).
What is element compound ion and molecule?
An element is composed of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down chemically. A compound is composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically bonded, and are either ionic or molecular. An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons, developing a negative or positive charge, respectively. A molecule is two or more atoms covalently bonded.
Which type of bond are electrons gained or lost?
ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons
What is a bond between atoms in which electrons are lost or gained?
Ionic bond is formed between the ions.
Why is calcium oxide an ionic bond?
Calcium hydroxide has groups of covalently bonded atoms that have either lost or gained electrons. It is an ion made up of two or more atoms that are covalently bonded and that act like a single ion. ~Ayanna~ Your answer doesn't answer the question. ****************** This answer will: The covalent part is between the O-H of the hydroxide. In this instance, O and H always bond covalently. Calcium's bond with the OH, which is a separate subject, is ionic, as in Ca ++ : (OH -) x 2 Almost all compounds involving metals are ionic, so this is typical. That should clear it up
Which Bond is formed when electrons have been lost by one atom and gained by another atom?
Polyatomic This is for you A+ users
How does the size ofa negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
It is larger, because it has gained electrons.
