What could be a sentence for electron?
Atoms with larger atomic numbers have a larger electron cloud, or system of orbitals
What is the smallest subatomic particles?
Of the three basic particles that atoms are made of, the electron is the smallest.
What the loss of an electron is called?
When a molecule loses an electron, it is said to be oxidized. The process is reduction.
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.
Does the ion enable a neutron to change into a proton and an electron in certain unstable atoms?
no
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
What is it when 2 atoms gain or loses an electron?
an ionic compound is formed
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.
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
How many atoms will rubidium gain?
Rubidium typically loses an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a 1+ cation. This means that rubidium gains no atoms; instead, it loses an electron to become a positively charged ion.
What ion is formed when an atom loses an electron.?
A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
What happens when atoms loses an electron?
AnswerA neutral atom that loses an electron becomes an ion that is positively charged (also called a cation).When a calcium atom loses two electrons it becomes positively charged.
What happens when a diatomic molecule loses an electron Does the bond weaken?
No, it is not correct to say that the bond energy always decreases when a diatomic molecule loses an electron. F2 and O2 are counterexamples to this point. When a molecule loses an electron, it will come from the highest occupied molecular orbital. In both O2 and F2, this MO is an antibonding MO. Removing an electron from an antibonding MO *increases* the bond energy.
What happens to sodium if it loses its outer electron?
If sodium loses its outer electron, it becomes a positively charged ion known as a sodium cation. This cation is stable and will seek to bond with other atoms or ions to achieve a full outer electron shell.
How many electron potassium gains or loses?
Potassium loses one electron.
Explain how an atoms becomes an ion?
an ion is an atom with a posotive or negative charge. this means the atom gains or loses an electron
When an atom loses an electron what is its charge?
Assuming the atoms starts off as a neutral atom, the new charge will be:0 - (-1) = +1
