What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
What kind of chemical bond is formed when atoms gain or lose electron?
Ionic bonding is when one atom gives up 1 or more electrons from its outer shell to another atom's outer shell.
What is hydrogen called when it gives up electrons?
When a hydrogen atom loses an electron, it is simply a proton.
What happens to a molecule that gives up an electron?
when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.
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 is formed in a metallic when atoms give up electrons?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
An atom gives up an electron to form a positive ion?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons. This positive ion is called a cation. The process of losing an electron is called ionization.
Potassium and iodine have formed a bond Prior to this the potassium gave up an electron It became a?
In this scenario, the potassium atom has given up an electron to become a positively charged potassium ion (K+). This ion has formed an ionic bond with the iodine atom, which accepted the electron to become a negatively charged iodide ion (I-). The attraction between the opposite charges of the ions is what holds them together in a stable compound.
Is an atom made up of only one atom?
atom is made up of subatomic particles:proton,electron and neutron.
If an atom gives up an electron does it it have a positive charge?
Yes. It becomes a cation (a positive ion). Yes. Each positively charged proton in the nucleus must be cancelled out by a negatively charged electron, or else any noncancelled proton's positive charge will give its atom a positive charge. Likewise the atom that gains the lost electron will have more negatives than positives and will gain a negative charge.
When will an atom give up an electron?
An atom will give up an electron when it is more stable by achieving a full outer electron shell. This typically occurs when the atom is in an ionic bond or is trying to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
What takes up most of the space of the atom?
The electron cloud or electron shell
