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.
When a molecule of nad plus gains a hydrogen atom to become nadh does the molecule become phosphorylated or oxidized or reduced or redoxed?
When NAD+ becomes NADH gaining that hydrogen it also gains an electron(s), which is its actual job. So, it becomes reduced.
Is a molecule that has lost electrons been reduced?
OIL RIGOxidation Is Loss (of electrons)Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)So no, a molecule which has lost electrons has a positive charge and so has been oxidised
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.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
When one molecule gains an electron from another the molecule that receives the electron has been?
The donor is the one who loses the electron. Donor is the elctron carrier.
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been?
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been ionized and oxidized.
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 final electron acceptor of the ETC?
In cellular respiration, the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is half of a diatomic oxygen molecule. This molecule is then reduced when it gains two low-energy electrons attached to two hydrogens, making a molecule of water as a by-product of cellular respiration.
What has a positive charge if it loses an electron but has a negative charge if it gains an electron?
Any solid, liquid, gas, atom, molecule, object, or space that started out electrically neutral.
When a molecule of nad plus gains a hydrogen atom to become nadh does the molecule become phosphorylated or oxidized or reduced or redoxed?
When NAD+ becomes NADH gaining that hydrogen it also gains an electron(s), which is its actual job. So, it becomes reduced.
What is molecular ion?
When an atom loses or gains an electron, it forms an ion. Similarly if a molecule also lose or gain an electron it forms a molecular ion ,e.g CH4+ CO+ etc.
What is the charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.
A molecule that gives up an elecron becomes?
Well if a atom loses or gains an electron it becomes an ion - a positively of negatively charged atom.
What happens to a molecule when it is reduced?
A molecule is said to be reduced when one of its atoms gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, the net charge of the molecule is reduced when one of it's atoms acquires an electron.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
Why are the particles in a sodium chloride molecule called ions rather than atoms?
They are called ions because they have an electric charge. The sodium gives up its (valence) electron so it gains a positive electrical charge. The chlorine gains this extra electron so it gains a negative electrical charge. IONS always refer to particles WITH AN ELECTRICAL CHARGE.
