What happens to the atom that causes a neutral object to become charged?
Normally when an atom gives another atom a positive or negative charge it's because it donated or accepted an electron.
What holds two atoms together when one atom takes an electron from another atom?
The atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively charged ion and the atom that loses the electron becomes a positively charged ion. The electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond that holds them together.
When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?
The lithium atom lose an electron.
When a helium atom loses an electron then what is formed?
Type your answer here... when helium atom removes a electron it forms a helium+ ion.(He+)
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
What is bonds that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
A electron bond is a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, When a electron bond forms the electrons are transferred to one atom back.
When one atom shares an electron with another atom to fill the outermost shell it forms an?
it forms a covalent bond.
Which best describes how an ionic forms?
One atom pulls an electron from another atom.
What do you call a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
ionic bond
What does an atom do when it gains an electron?
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
When fluorine atom gains an electron it forms?
When a fluorine atom gains an electron, it forms a negative ion.
What bond forms when an electron is lost?
Generally, the transfer of an electron from one atom to another is known as an Ionic bond. The electron giving up its electron is the 'donor,' while the receiving electron is the 'acceptor.'
When is an ionic bond formed?
An ionic bond forms when two oppositely charged ions combine.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
What gives the atom its chemical properties?
the electron
