What else can I help you with?
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Do atoms of most metals lose electrons easily?
No
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
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?
A cation forms when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. This loss of electrons leaves the atom with more protons than electrons, creating an overall positive charge.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
Charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons are called ions. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
How do atoms get a positive charge?
Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
What types of atoms form positive ions?
atoms that belong to a metal element....because metals always loose electrons and gain a positive charge..!
