What happens when you lose or gain an electron?
As a neutral atom lose an electron then it becomes a positive ion As it gains an electron then it becomes a negative ion
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.
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.
The charge an object has when it has gained electrons?
electric charge
How can an atom become electrically CHARGED?
An atom gains a positive charge by losing electrons.
What type of charge does an ion have when an atom gains an electron?
Negative.
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 happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron it becomes an ion with a charge of negative one. This charge comes from the electron's negativity, which changes the atom's balanced ratio of electrons to protons.
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.
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.
If a neutral atoms gains electron what type of particle is formed?
An electron has a negative charge, so if a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion. A negative ion is called an anion.
When an atom gains an electron the atom becomes an ion that?
yes...on gaining an electron, the atom becomes an anion i.e. negatively charged ion.
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.
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.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
What type of ion is formed when an atom loses an ion?
A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
