The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
What is the charge on an atom in its natural stare?
Atoms by definition are neutral. Once they gain or lose electrons and acquire a charge, they are called ions.
What do atoms do that alters there overall neutral charge?
Atoms either gain or lose electrons to change their overall neutral charge.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What is it called when gain of electrons or H?
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if it has?
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if is has an equal number of protons and electrons. The charges inside the atom cancel each other, making it neutral.
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
When atoms gain or lose electrons the charged particles that result are called molecules?
NO, they are called ions.
Is nitrogen neutral gas?
Nitrogen gas does not gain or remove electrons. Therefor this gas is neutral.
A molecule is the neutral particle formed when?
A molecule is the neutral particle formed when electrons are shared between atoms. The charge is neutral when electrons are shared, negative when they gain electrons, and positive when they lose electrons.
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.
What is the charge on an atom in its natural stare?
Atoms by definition are neutral. Once they gain or lose electrons and acquire a charge, they are called ions.
What is the loss and gain of electrons to form ions?
An electron or electrons is/are lost or gained to produce an ion. An atom with the same number of electrons as protons is a neutral atom. If the proton count and electron count do not match, that atom is electrically "imbalanced" and is an ion.
When atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons they can be best described as what?
Ions
When neutralization molecules gain or lose electrons the process is known as?
Ionization
Does AS3- lose or gain electrons?
The ion given is formed when the neutral arsenic atom gains three electrons.
How many electrons does polonium have to gain?
The atom is neutral; the cations of Po are of course positive. Polonium lose electrons.
