In order for an atom to become an ion, removing or adding an electron should be done. The mass number remains the same because this indicates the number of protons and neutrons and not of electrons.

Explain what has happened to the molecule of HCI?
Nothing happens to the hydrogen atom in HCl until it is placed in H2O, and then the HCl ionizes completely to give rise to H3O+ (hydronium ion) and Cl^- (chloride anion).
How Oxygen ionizes by losing electrons?
Oxygen ionizes by gaining two electrons. It becomes a negatively charged ion with the formula O2-.
What does it mean when a chemical substance dissociates or ionizes?
it desolves
What has a pH of 1 and completely ionizes in aqueous solution?
HCl
Has fluoride gained a neutron?
On, flouride gains an electon when it ionizes.
When a chlorine atom ionizes. what does its charge become?

A base that only partly ionizes in a solution is what kind of base?
The strength of a base is determined by how much it ionizes in solution. If a base only partially ionizes, then it is considered a weak base.
What does it means when water ionizes?
Well, ionizes means to purify, so basically your purifying water, good enough answer for u?
Water can store energy when it?
ionizes
How Oxygen ionizes by losing electrons?
Oxygen ionizes by gaining two electrons. It becomes a negatively charged ion with the formula O2-.
Does a strong base have the same strength as a weak acid?
No. A strong base ionizes completely, while a weak acid only ionizes partially.
What is the difference between strong and and weak acids?
A strong acid ionizes partially in water while a weak acid ionizes fully in water.
What acid is like acetic acid that only slightly ionizes in water?
An acid-like acetic acid that only slightly ionizes in water
What is shte name of a molecular compound that ionizes in water to produce protons?
A molecular compound that ionizes in water to produce protons is a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
Can proton ionizes gas?
Yes they can do it. That is because of + charge.
