It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
Oxidation = loss of electrons Reduction = gain of electrons Oxidation-reduction: a reversible chemical reaction (one reaction is of oxidation and the another of reduction).
Na = Na+ + e- is oxidation (electron lost)
It is called Oxidation
Oxidation
An ionic molecule is formed.
It becomes a positively charged ion.
Aluminum, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus, iodine, and neon
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
an isotope
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
When an atom looses an electron is called "a cation, when gains is called an "anion".
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
if it looses an electron
An ionic molecule is formed.
It becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
If an atom loses an electron, its charge becomes a positive. (The process of losing an electron is called OXIDATION, by the way.) Depending on the electron configuration, the atom could become "happy" (because its outer ring is now empty) or it could want to bond with another atom to fill ALL of the spots on its outer electron ring.
If it looses an electron, it becomes positively charged. If it gains one, it becomes negatively charged. These charged species are collectively called ions.
An atom looses or gains electron to become ion. Ions are +ve and -ve atoms.
If an atom loosed electrons then it becomes an ion. The electrical charge in the atom becomes a positive ion.
== == == == The answer is an ionic atom.== ==when it gains an electron, it acquires partial negative charge and it's at.weight increaseswhen it looses electron; it acquires partial positive charge and at.weight decreases
