If an atom loses an electron (electrons are negative), the atom becomes 'less negative' which means 'more positive'.
Atoms are normally neutral (no charge), so losing one electron gives it a positive charge. When an atom has a charge it is called an ION.
So the atom becomes a Positively Charged Ion.
What else can I help you with?
When an atom loses a valence electrons what does it become?
it becomes positive
What does an atom become when it loses or gains electrons?
it becomes an ion
When an atom loses electrons what kind of ion does it become?
chicken dinner
When an atom loses or gains electron electrons it's become a?
Ion
What happens when it loses electrons?
all elements want to have a full valence shell and when an atom loses electrons it is said to become a cation.
When an atom loses electrons its charge become negative true or false?
False. When an atom loses electrons, its charge becomes positive since electrons have negative charges. Compare it to: 0 - -1 = 1
How does an atom become a postive ion?
When it loses one or more of its outer electrons.
How many electrons does the neutral atom gain or lose when Cr3 plus forms?
When Cr3+ forms, the neutral atom (chromium) loses 3 electrons. This happens because the neutral chromium atom has 24 electrons, but when it forms Cr3+, it loses 3 electrons to have a total of 21 electrons.
Cations form when an atom gains electrons?
Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons it becomes a particle called an?
An Ion. An atom that loses electrons to become positively charged is a CATION. An atom that gains electrons to become negatively charged is an ANION. One there is an imbalanbced of electrons to protons, then it is is no longer and atom but an ion. An ATOM is a neutrally charged species An ION is a positively/negatively charged species.
When does an atom lose electrons through an ionic bond?
An atom loses electrons through an ionic bond when it has a lower electronegativity than the atom it is bonding with. This creates a difference in charge, with the atom losing electrons becoming positively charged (cation) and the atom gaining electrons becoming negatively charged (anion).
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
