When an atoms loses an electron it?
The atom is said to be ionized. (It can also be said to be oxidised.)
If an atom gains an electron it will become?
It depends on the way the electron is used. If the atom "uses" it by giving it away to some other atom or molecule, it becomes a positively charged cation. If it instead uses it by taking it into its own structure, it becomes a negatively charged anion.
What is the charge of the ion typically formed by lead when it loses 4 electrons?
Natural lead is an electrically neutral atom. Thus, when it loses 4 electrons it loses 4 units of negative charge. This gives the lead ion 4 units of positive charge, or Pb4+.
What is the results of losing electrons?
when a neutral atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. it now has a stable outer most shell.
What happens when a nonmetal atom gains an electron from another atom?
It becomes a negatively charged ion with a charge of 1-.
What happens to an atom when it takes on a negative charge?
An atom takes on a negative charge by gaining electon/electrons and thus, becomes an anoin
What is an objects net chare when it loses electrons?
in an atom, since the number of positively charged protons and the negatively charged electrons are always equal,loss of electon will make the atom positively charged.
What happens if atom loses electron?
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
What happens to the charge of an atom that loses electrons?
it gets positive charge
What happens when an atom loose an atom?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
What type of electon determine how and atom will react?
The valence electrons.
What happens when cations form?
an atom loses electrons and becomes positivly charged
What happens to a hydrogen atom to make it become a H plus?
It loses an electron
What happens when an loses an electron?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
What happens when it loses electrons?
all elements want to have a full valence shell and when an atom loses electrons it is said to become a cation.
