^ Poker? i don't think elements have much interest in card games.. atoms lose neutrons due to radioactive decay, these atoms exist as different isotopes of the same element. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 both exist as the same element (atomic number 6), but with different Atomic Mass and number of neutrons.

When atoms combine what do they gain or lose?
They gain or lose electrons, while the atoms combine.
Atoms gain or lose?
they can do both
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
What is a reason for atoms to not gain lose or share electrons?
This depends on the electronegativity of atoms.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
When atoms combine what do they gain or lose?
They gain or lose electrons, while the atoms combine.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What cannot change in an atom is it protons neutrons or electrons?
An atoms protons cannot change.The number of neutrons can change (gain or lose) to form an isotope (ex. Hydrogen naturally has no neutrons. But it can gain neutrons to form Heavy Hydrogen, or in other words, a Hydrogen Isotope).An atom can gain or lose electrons to form an ion. Usually an atom will gain or lose electrons to fill its valence (outermost) shell. It takes just as much energy to gain an electron as it is to lose one, so an atom will always look to lose or gain the least amount of electrons possible. (ex. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. It will look to gain 2 electrons, rather than lose 6).Protons: DO NOT CHANGENeutrons: Can change to form an isotopeElectrons: Can change to form an ion
Atoms gain or lose?

Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
Do atoms of group 2 lose or gain?
They try to lose usually.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
Do atoms of a covalent bond lose or gain elecrons?
do atoms of a covalent bond lose r share electrons
What is a reason for atoms to not gain lose or share electrons?
This depends on the electronegativity of atoms.
