Reapportionment
An atom becomes charged when it either gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged (anion); if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (cation). This process is known as ionization.
Congressional reapportionment occurs when a state gains or loses an electoral vote. Redistricting occurs when the new district is created or a former district is absorbed.
Freezing describes the process of a liquid turning into a solid as it loses heat energy.
Regarding U. S. Congressional and Senate elections, if the incumbent president's popularity is high at the time of the election, his party usually gains seats. If his popularity is low at that time, his party usually loses seats.
Acetate is a material that becomes negatively charged when rubbed against hair, meaning it gains electrons. In contrast, hair becomes positively charged as it loses electrons during the rubbing process.
When an atom combines chemically with another atom, it either gains, loses, or shares electrons to achieve a more stable configuration. This process results in the formation of chemical bonds, which can be ionic or covalent depending on how the electrons are shared or transferred between the atoms involved.
When and atom loses or gains enery, it becomes positivly or nevetivly charged and can become an ion.
Water gains and loses heat much more quickly than land.
Potassium loses one electron.
An ion.
Ion
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
