An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining?
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.
Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?
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.
What is an atom that has given up or taken on electrons?
I believe you mean an ion, which is an atom or a group of atoms that has acquired a net electric charge by gaining or losing one or more electrons. atoms that lose electrons are metals that become positively charged cations. atoms that gain electrons are non-metals that become negatively charged anions.
Which Bond is formed when electrons have been lost by one atom and gained by another atom?
An ionic bond is formed when electrons have been lost by one atom (to become a positively charged ion) and gained by another atom (to become a negatively charged ion), resulting in an attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
What structure will atoms have after losing or gaining electrons?
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.
Is an ion is a charged particle?
yes. negatively charged ion is called cation and where as a positively charged ion is anion.
Between what do ionic bonds form?
it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion
What is a positively or negativity charged atoms?
An ion is both positively and negatively charged.
What is a charged atom?
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
What a ion?
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
What is cat ion?
A cation is a positively charged ion.
How does an atom become a positively charged ion?
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.
A positively charged what has more protons than electrons?
That would be a positively charged ion. (cation)
Is Cl a positively charged ion?
No, Cl is not a positively charged ion. Cl is the chemical symbol for chlorine, which typically forms a negatively charged ion called chloride (Cl-).
Is an ion positively charged?
Some are, others are negatively charged.
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
Is an ion neutral and does it therefore have no charge?
An ion is not neutral; it has a net electrical charge due to the gain or loss of electrons. An ion can be positively charged (cation) if it loses electrons or negatively charged (anion) if it gains electrons.
