Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?
No. Atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. When atoms gain or lose electrons they are called ions.
When atoms combine what do they gain or lose?
They gain or lose electrons, while the atoms combine.
How many electrons are lost or gained in the element o when they form ions?
atoms gain and lose electrons, so they can have a full outer shell of 8 electrons (or two electrons if its the innermost shell) when atoms lose electrons it is called oxidation and when they gain electrons they are said to be reduced. OIL RIG is most commonly used to help remember that oxidation is loss and reduction is gain of electons. when atoms lose electrons they are left with a positive charge and when they can electrons they have a negative charge.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?
No. Atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. When atoms gain or lose electrons they are called ions.
When atoms combine what do they gain or lose?
They gain or lose electrons, while the atoms combine.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
How many electrons are lost or gained in the element o when they form ions?
atoms gain and lose electrons, so they can have a full outer shell of 8 electrons (or two electrons if its the innermost shell) when atoms lose electrons it is called oxidation and when they gain electrons they are said to be reduced. OIL RIG is most commonly used to help remember that oxidation is loss and reduction is gain of electons. when atoms lose electrons they are left with a positive charge and when they can electrons they have a negative charge.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
What structure will atoms have after losing of gaining electrons?
If atoms lose electrons they will have a positively charged ion called a cation. If they gain electrons, they will have a negatively charged ion called an anion.
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
