An atom that gains electrons and therefore forms a negative ion is known as a?
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.
Any chemical reaction that involves the loss of one or more electrons by an atom or ion is a?
It is an oxidation reaction.
What is an ion that has lost or gained electrons called?
An atom that has gained or lost electrons is called an ion. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
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.
What is the definition of positively charged ion?
If an atom gives one or more electrons as a result positive ion is formed. The reason is that an electron is negatively charged and normally an atom is neutral. if it gives electrons then positive ion is formed which is more likely to take electron to become neutral.
What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
The loss or gain of electrons transform an atom in an ion.
What type of ion forms when atom lose electrons?
Losing an ion creates a positive charge. This forms a positive ion.
A charged particle forms when an atom transfers electrons is an?
A charged particle that forms when an atom transfers electrons is an ion. An atom that loses an electron forms a positively charged ion called a cation; an atom that gains an electron forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.
A charged particle that forms when an atom transfers electrons?
it is an ion
What is a charged particle called that forms when an atom transfers electrons?
An ion.If the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, a cation.If the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, an anion.
What change will occur if an atom loss electrons?
The atom will turn into an ion, specifically, a cation.
What forms from a neutral atom or molecule by adding electrons to it?
A positive ion, or cation forms.
What happens when a atom forms an ion?
The atom had either lost or gained one or more electrons forming and ion. Thus the ion has an overall electric charge.
When a positive ion forms?
A positive ion is formed when an atom loses one or more then electrons.
What Atom picks up or loses electrons and gains a charge?
An atom that has lost or gained an electron or electrons is called an ion. When an atom loses an electron, it forms a positive ion because the protons then outnumber the electrons. When an atom gains an electron, it forms a negative ion because the electrons now outnumber the protons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced "cat-ion" not "ca-shun.") A negative ion is called an anion (pronounced "an-ion" not "an-yun.")
The loss of electrons by a molecule atom or ion is called?
oxidation. Gaining electrons is called reduction.
What must happen in order for an ion to form?
An ion forms when an atom with the same number of protons as electrons looses or gains one or more electrons. This gain or loss of electrons would be due to some sort of ionic bond
