If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
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.
What happened to an Atom when it loses an electron?
It loses a negative charge and then becomes a positive ion
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called what?
It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".
When a sodium atom loses one valence electron it gets a charge of what?
1+
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When an atom loses a valence electron it becomes a what ion?
It will become a soft ion.
When an Atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charge particle called a?
Ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
ion
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
Will Sodium give up electrons to other atoms?
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.
Does a sodium atom lose or gain electrons when it becomes an ion?
Sodium loses its one valence electron to become Na+
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
When an atom loses an slectron it becomes an?
If an atom loses an electron it becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
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
