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.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons?
Isotope
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
When a atom gaines a electron?
When an atom gains an electron the no of negatively charged particles increases inside the atom and the atom gets negatively charged.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
Ions formed when a atom gains or loses electrons. An atom that has either a positive or negative charge is known as an 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.
What do you call an atom that is both an ion and an isotope?
You call it an ion of that isotope. Let's use carbon-14 for example. If a carbon-14 atom gains/loses an electron, you simply call it a "carbon-14 ion".
What does an atom do when it gains an electron?
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
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.
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
What does a hydrogen contain?
A hydrogen molecule only consists of one hydrogen atom, while a hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron while in its atom state. When it ionises it gains another electron to have a full inner shell of two electrons. The most common isotope of hydrogen has no neutrons but can have an isotope with one neutron.
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.
What does an atom release more easily when it gains an electron?
An Electron
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons?
Isotope
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
What atom that gains an electron is called?
an anion
