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.
Will an object become positivley or negatively charged if it gains electrons?
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
Ask us anythingAn ion is formed when an atom .?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electrons or electrons. If it gains an electron, it becomes an anion, and if it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
An atom becomes an anion when?
When the number of protons or electrons is not even (more protons than electrons or the opposite).
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
Will Li gain or lose when reacting to Cl?
Li loses one electrons. Cl gains the electron.
How does an ion become Negatively charge?
it loses a proton or gains an electron
10 What occurs in an atom to produce an ion?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged (anion) because it has more electrons than protons. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (cation) because it has more protons than electrons.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
What is the name given to an atom that gains electrons?
It is an ION Answer: Yes it is an Ion, but no, it is formally called an Anion. Because it gained an electron it has become negatively charged. If it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
