it becomes a charged ion loose = positive gain= negative
An atom can become an ion by either gaining or losing electrons. If it gains electrons, it becomes an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a cation. An ion is merely an atom with a charge, either positive or negative.
If an atom gains an electron it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion. A ion has a single atom which is atomic or monatomic.
After losing or gaining electrons, atoms will form ions. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, while if it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion. This process results in the formation of stable electronic configurations.
idk but a chloride atom becomes a chloride ion wen it gains electrons so....
Yes, an ion is formed when an atom either loses or gains an electron, resulting in a net positive or negative charge, respectively. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation.
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
A neutral atom that gains or loses electrons is now an ION. If it loses electrons to become M^(n+), then it is a CATION. If it gains electrons to become X^(n-), then it is an ANION. NB Atoms that gain or lose electrons are no longer atoms , but IONS.
First of all to correct your English grammar. The question should read ; - " What is a**n** atom that g(r)ain or loses electrons?" The answer is an ION . A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
vall
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
ION A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION NB When an atom becomes a charged species it is no longer an atom, but an ION . An atom has a neutral charge.
This single atom remain an atom of krypton !
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
An ionic bond.
