What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
What determines if an atom is an ion?
An atom is electrically neutral; it has the same number of positively charged protons as it has negatively charged electrons. If an atom either gains or loses one or more electrons, then it will have an electric charge, and will be an ion.
Does the movement of electrons to atoms or from atoms make ions?
Yes. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
What of an atom is negatively charged?
The number of protons is less than the number of electrons in an atom.
A charged atom is?
A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.

When is an atom called ion?
An ion is a electrically charged atom (negative ion) has more electrons that protons and positive ion has more protons that electrons)

A charged particle forms when an atom transfers electrons is an?
A charged particle that forms when an atom transfers electrons is an ion. An atom that loses an electron forms a positively charged ion called a cation; an atom that gains an electron forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.
How does an atom become a positively charged ion?
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.
An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining?
An atom can become an ion by either gaining or losing electrons. If it gains electrons, it becomes an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a cation. An ion is merely an atom with a charge, either positive or negative.
Is an atom charged?
No, atoms are neutral. Atoms can be charged by adding or deleting an electron(s). A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
The atom that has gained or lost electrons is called an ion?
Yes. An atom that has gained one or more electrons is a negatively charged ion called an anion, and an atom that has lost one or more electrons is a positively charged ion called a cation.
What is a charged atom particle called?
Electrons are negatively charged (around the nucleus) and protons are positively charged (inside the nucleus)
