Its oxidation state is altered. This may mean it accepts a different type or different number of bonds. It may also be accompanied by a radical colour change. The charge is also altered.

A transfer of electrons between atoms changes the number of electrons in an atom but the number of stays the same?
he number of protons stays the same. :)
What happens to valence electrons as you move across the row?
The number of valence electrons increases.
What is the electron configuration of tritium?
1s1...it is simply an isotope so the number of neutrons changes but the number of electrons remains the same
What happens if you put gadolinium in water?
well because of the high number of electrons/valence electrons it would make a micture known as H2oGd2.
How many valence electrons does an atom of nitrogen have?
Nitrogen can have either 3 or 5 valence electrons. The number changes because the 2 electrons from the 2s shell can bond as well as the 3 electrons in the outer 2p shell.
When an atom changes to cation what happens to the number of electrons?
Electron/s are removed from the atom.
A transfer of electrons between atoms changes the number of electrons in an atom but the number of stays the same?
he number of protons stays the same. :)
What forms if the number of neutrons in an atom changes?
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
What happens to valence electrons as you move across the row?
The number of valence electrons increases.
What happens in the number of electrons in the second shell?
Second shell has a maximum of 8 electrons.
What happens to the number of valence electrons when atoms combine to form a compound?
They Share Electrons
What happens when there is a large number of electrons?
if there is a large amount of electrons, heat will be conducted very fast.
When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
What detemines the identit of an element?
The number of protons it has in the nucleus. Number of electrons and neutrons can vary but if the number of protons changes, you have a different element. Number of protons is a constant in an element which never changes.
What happens when the number of neutrons changes in a element?
a poopy
What happens to the number of electrons in an atom when the atomic number increases?
The atomic number is specific to the element itself - not the quantity. It does not change as you add in more of the element.
The periodic table is arranged according to repeated changes in properties of elements?
number of electrons
