What determines whether a charged object gains or loses electrons?
Peanuts are AMAZING! Especially when they are boiled.
What is the difference between electron and elektron?
Elektron is the spelling for the Greek word meaning "amber". It originated as the namesake for the negatively charged subatomic particle known as the electron because of amber's affinity for developing a static charge when rubbed against certain materials, such as wool. In fact, while wool develops a positive charge (meaning it loses electrons) amber develops a negative charge by rubbing electrons off the wool.
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.
Is the beryllium ion stable?
Nether. (It should make a cation, but it's too small.)
When beryllium loses electrons to fluorine what is the process called?
Wouldn't it be the formation of an ionic compound, BeF2. Because fluorine needs to gain one electron to become stable like the noble gases. In turn, beryllium needs to lose two electrons to become stable. So, two fluorine atoms react with one beryllium atom. The two fluorines are called anions (ions with (-) charge) and the beryllium is a 2+ cation (or ion with (+) charge). Then, to cancel out the charges, they bond together to form what is known as an ionic compound.
When are ions formed?
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
What is the ion formed when a metal loses 1 or more electrons?
An ion with missing electrons, and thus a positive charge, is a cation.
What is formed when a single atom of Krypton?
This single atom remain an atom of krypton !
Does an element that loses 3 electrons have a charge of plus 2?
If an atom loses 3 electrons, it gets a charge of +3. (One positive charge for every electron lost). If an atom loses 2 electrons, it gets a charge of +2.
What is the Definition and formation of cations and anions?
An ion is an atom which is not neutral i.e. it has excess of charge on it. There are two types of ions:Cation:- These have positive charge on them. They are formed when an loses electrons and protons exceed their number.Anion:- These have negative charge in them. They are formed when an atom gains electrons and no. of electrons exceed the no. of protons.
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
What is the charge of an ion formed by an element on the periodic table?
The charge of an ion formed by an element on the periodic table is determined by the number of electrons gained or lost by the element. This charge can be positive or negative, depending on whether the element loses or gains electrons.
What would be the charge of zinc when it loses an electron?
The charge of the ion formed is the eat my a ss hole Answers.com sucks d ick.
What charge of an atom that loses electrons?
A Positive Charge.
Is a cation a positive charge?
Yes, a cation is a ion with positive charge.
What is ionic charge p?
Ionic charge refers to the electric charge on an ion, which is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule. It is determined by the number of electrons gained or lost by the atom or molecule. Positive ionic charge (cations) is formed when an atom loses electrons, while negative ionic charge (anions) is formed when an atom gains electrons.
