What happens when a atom losses an electron?
It becomes a positively charged Ion called a cation.
What soes an atom become when it losses or get an electron?
If it looses an electron, it becomes positively charged. If it gains one, it becomes negatively charged. These charged species are collectively called ions.
What particle has to be removed from an atom so the atom becomes positive?
An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?
When you add an electron to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When you subtract an electron from an atom, the atom becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
When an atom gains an electron the atom becomes an ion that?
yes...on gaining an electron, the atom becomes an anion i.e. negatively charged ion.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
When a atom losses a electron it becomes what kind of ion?
A cation. A positively charged ion that is attracted towards the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
When an atom receives an electron it becomes more?
The atom then becomes negatively charged
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
If an atom losses a electron it is?
A positive ion.
