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.
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.
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
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.
When an atom gains or loses electrons it is called an?
covalent/ionic bonding.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that gains or loses electrons is now an ION. If it loses electrons to become M^(n+), then it is a CATION. If it gains electrons to become X^(n-), then it is an ANION. NB Atoms that gain or lose electrons are no longer atoms , but IONS.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An ION . Metal (M) ionises ( loses electrons) M(g) = M^(n-) + ne^(-) M^(n+) is a CATION . Non-metal (X) has electron affinity ( gains electrons) X(g) + ne^(-) = X^(n-) X^(n-) is an ANION .
When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
When an atom gains or loses electons the charged particles that results is called?
an ion
Sometimes an atom loses or gains an electron. What is this called?
ionization Redox reactions
When an atom gains or loses electrons it has an electrical charge. It is known as?
It is called an ion.
