Are atoms have lost electrons is called?
Atoms that have lost electrons are positive ions, and are called cations.
What causes positive ions to have their positive charge?
they have lost some electrons
Atoms that have gained or lost electrons have charges and are attached to one another forming?
An ionic bond.If electrons are transferred between atoms, then it is ionic, but if they are shared, then it is covalent.
Do cations lose electrons?
a cation gains electrons and has a positive charge while a anion loses electrons and has a negative charge
How is the table of anions and cations?
I didn't understand your question but here I go...An ion is an atom that has lost or gained electrons, and now has a positive or negative charge, respectively.A cation is an ion with a positive charge. An atom that lost electrons and now has less electrons than protons.ANDAn anion is an ion with a negative charge. An atom that gained electrons and now has more electrons than protons.
What are valances?
They are electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are the electrons that are either shared, lost, or gained in the proccess of forming chemical compounds
How many numbers of electrons grained or lost for calcium?
2 electrons are lost from calcium, forming Ca2+ ion
Are atoms have lost electrons is called?
Atoms that have lost electrons are positive ions, and are called cations.
What causes positive ions to have their positive charge?
they have lost some electrons
What is a positive oxidation number?
Positive oxidation number implies that electrons are generally lost by the element.
How do you get different charges?
Different charges result from the loss of one or more electrons, or the gaining of one or more electrons forming ions. Atoms that lose electrons develop a positive charge equal to the number of electrons lost. Atoms that gain electrons develop a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.
Has lost electrons indicated by a positive sign?
The electron is negative (-), the cation is positive (+).
If an object has a positive charge what has it done?
It has lost electrons, resulting in a more positive charge.
If neutral atoms become positive ions they?
have lost electrons
How do electrons interact when forming an ionic bond?
The atom will either bring in more electrons, making it negatively charged, or "kick out" electrons, making it positively charged.
Why does a element have a plus 2 charge?
An element you have a +2 charge It is had lost electrons. It would have to lose the same number of electrons that its positive charge is. So it would have lost 2 electrons.
What do you call an atom that has lost one or more electrons?
A positive ion or a Cation
