An atom loses electrons through an ionic bond when it is a metal. This is because it will become stable more easily when it loses electrons than when it gains them.

A bond that occurs when an atom transfers an electron to another atom is called a?
Ionic bond
What is the bond which results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
An ionic bond results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, or cation. The atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion. The ionic bond that forms between them is the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
What kind of bond is formed when one atom looses electrons and the other gains electrons?
An ionic bond is formed.
Describe how a sodium atom forms a bond with a chlorine atom?
The bonding mechanism between sodium and chlorine atom occurs through harpoon mechanism
When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom a----------------- bond is?
The missing word is 'ionic'.
A type of bond in which electrons are transferred?
An ionic bond results when there is a transfer of one or more electrons from atom to another atom.
What chemical bond is formed by the transfer of an electron?
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.
What term is used to describe a bond formed when one atom gains electrons while the other atom loses electrons?
A type of bond in which one atom gains electrons and one atom loses electrons is an ionic bond.
A bond that occurs when an atom transfers an electron to another atom is called a?
Ionic bond
What do you call a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
ionic bond
How an ionic bond differs from a covalent bond?
An ionic bond is formed when one atom donates one or more electrons to another atom. A covalent bond does not involve a transfer of electrons, it involves sharing electrons.
What is the bond which results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
An ionic bond results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, or cation. The atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion. The ionic bond that forms between them is the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
What bond results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.?
ionic bond
What happens in an ionic bond?
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
What is the bond that forms when electrons from one atom to another?
ionic bond
What is the chemical bond that is formed when the electrons are transferred from atom to atom?
Ionic
What kind of chemical bond will be formed between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons?
An ionic bond will form. Covalent bond, however, is when the two atoms share electrons when they bond.
