What is the technical term for a molecule gains an electron?
It depends on which way it "lost" its electron. Ionization is the word for a charged atom, such as that of an atom which has lost or received an electron. Both Na+ and Cl- are ions and the sodium ion is the one who has lost an electron, while the chloride ion on the other hand has gained an electron.

What color was Amelia earhart's plane friendship?
Bright orange, so it could be spotted easily if it was lost.
What does an alpha decay look like?
It can be difficult to visualize something so small that it cannot be seen directly with any light-based instrument. But we can make a stab at it, so let's do that. An atomic nucleus is tiny beyond anything we've ever seen. It's really, really small. But picture a fuzzy sphere hanging in space. (The electrons will not be part of the picture because they are far, far away on the scale in which an atomic nucleus would be visible.) There's a little vibrating fuzzy sphere, and something is happening to it. Is it changing shape in subtle ways? A very short distance from the nucleus, we'll see a tiny fuzzy sphere appear almost out of nowhere. That's the alpha particle, and its much smaller than the nucleus. It is composed of a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons bound together. It's a helium-4 nucleus, but you may have figured that out. The reason it seems to "magically appear" near the nucleus is because the alpha particle is believed to escape the nucleus via the mechanism of quantum mechanical tunneling. In one moment, the nucleus is whole, though it is unstable, and the next instant it has lost some of its mass and the alpha particle appears. That little alpha particle has tunneled out of the nucleus and was not seen actually exiting the mass of that nucleus. We might add that the nucleus has just undergone a nuclear transformation, and we call it nuclear transmutation. Where one chemical element existed before, another one that is two atomic numbers down on the periodic table will be left. That alpha particle, the one that slipped unseen from the nucleus, will appear, but it won't be still. It will materialize and be off in a flash. It comes away with a tremendous amount of kinetic energy. It's really moving! It will rocket out away from the nucleus and blow through the electron cloud like it wasn't even there. It's a helium-4 nucleus as we mentioned, and its a nucleus without electrons, but it is moving far too quickly to have a high probability of "capturing" any electrons from the atom from which it arose. It isn't taking any "baggage" with it. There will be some "shape changes" in the nucleus of the atom that the alpha particle left, but it ends up a bit smaller and as indistinct in our view as it was in the beginning. Following the alpha particle farther out, we'll see that little guy slamming into air or whatever else is in its way. These "collisions" will be scattering events, and atoms will be ionized in the process. If any solid material is present, the alpha particle will pretty much be hammered into a stop. Alpha particles don't have a lot of penetrating power. A piece of paper will block them. The alpha particle will then snatch a couple of electrons from just about anywhere around it, and the "transformation" of that alpha particle into a helium-4 atom will be complete.
What is the superlative degree for word loss?
LOSS is a noun, it does not have degrees of comparison. Maybe LOST: very lost, the most lost (but it is illogical).
What is charged atomic particle of an atom called?
A positively charged particle formed from an atom [that has lost electrons] is called a cation.
The smallest particle of matter which enter a chemical combination?
It is an atom. More specifically, it would be a cation - which is an atom which has "lost" one or more electrons and so is less than an atom.
Which subatomic particle is gained or lost during friction induction and conduction?
Electrons are the subatomic particles gained or lost during friction induction and conduction. This transfer of electrons is what causes static electricity to build up on objects.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called a?
an ion.
What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. A hydrogen ion, on the other hand, is a positively charged ion of hydrogen that has lost its electron. So, a hydrogen ion is essentially a proton outside of the nucleus.
What is a particle that loses electrons and acquires a positive charge?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons and thus became a positively charged particle.
Is an ion considered a particle?
Yes, an ion is considered a particle because it is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge.
What is a unionized particle of an element?
A unionized particle of an element refers to an atom that has not gained or lost any electrons, thus maintaining a neutral charge. This means the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
What is the definition of a proton?
A proton is a part of an atom. The other parts of an atom are the neutron, and electrons. It's an electrically charged particle. It is positive. It is located within the nucleus of the atom, which is about one ten thousandth of the diameter of the atom itself but contains virtually all of the atom's mass. The number of protons in the nucleus determine the element; for example, if the nucleus contains 8 protons it is an oxygen atom. The protons are subtracted from the total atom mass, and therefore, the other mass are the neutrons. A proton is one of the three basic "building blocks" of the atom (along with the neutron and electron). It is a subatomic particle with a unit positive charge. (The unit of charge is 1.602 x 10-19 coulomb.) It has a diameter of 1.6 to 1.7 x 10-15 meter. It's mass is about 1.6726 x 10-27 kilogram. It is a fermion with a + 1/2 spin, and is, therefore, a baryon. It is composed of two up quarks and a down quark, and it is held together by the strong interaction (strong force). It is a nucleon, a particle of the atomic nucleus (with the neutron), and, as such will undergo mass deficit (along with any other nucleons) to fuse into an atomic nucleus. The resultant mass lost in fusion is the residual strong force, and this is the nuclear binding energy, nuclear glue, that holds an atomic nucleus together. The electrostatic repulsion between protons creates an upper limit on the size of an atomic nucleus because of the limits of this binding energy. By itself, the proton is a hydrogen nucleus. It's discovery is generally credited to Ernest Rutherford (in 1918). It has an antiparticle called the antiproton. The definition of the word proton is "a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign."
Is it true or false that an alpha particle has a double positive charge because it is a helium atom that has lost two electrons?
True. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and it has a double positive charge because it has lost the 2 electrons that were originally part of the helium atom.
What is the positively charge particle in the nucleus of an atom?
The positively charged particle in an atom is a proton.A proton.
Do molecules have ions?
An atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element that retains its chemical properties. A molecule is the smallest amount of a substance that consists of a number of atoms of the same or of different elements.
