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 is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
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.
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it is?
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
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.
Ask us anythingAn ion is formed when an atom .?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electrons or electrons. If it gains an electron, it becomes an anion, and if it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
How does an atom becom a negative ion?
It becomes whenever it gains one or more electron.
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
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".
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
