Cations are formed when neutral atoms lose?
Yes, they loose electrons : e-
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
What is a substance that has lost or gained electrons?
Most atoms have the ability to lose electrons, given the conditions are favorable, e.g. in a chemical reaction, but the ones that loose their electrons easiest are the ones with only a few electrons in their outer shell, such as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals which only have 1 and two electrons, respectively.
When a group 1 metal reacts what happens to the outer shell electrons of its atoms?
they loose electrons from its outershell
Atoms are split to produce .?
other atoms, some loose protons, electrons, and neutrons (which get attached to other atoms and change them) and energy.

When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.

What will happen to the atoms and molecules of a substance when it undergoes a chemical reaction?
The molecules will rearrange, giving off or absorbing energy. The atoms will be by and large unaffected (they might gain or loose an electron or two)
What are formed when elements gain or loose electrons?
ions

What is a chemical bond where atoms either gain or loose electrons?
ionic bonding :]
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
When atoms become ions their outer most shells of electrons become?
they add or loose electrons from the outer most shells
