When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom they form a bond that is considered to be?
ionic
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.")
When one atom gives up an electron to another atom what does it form?
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it forms an ion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
What is hydrogen called when it gives up electrons?
When a hydrogen atom loses an electron, it is simply a proton.
What happens when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
This is the loaning (by one atom) and the borrowing (by another atom) of a valence electron or electrons that creates a chemical bond. This type of bond is the ionic bond where one atom loans (or gives up) and the other borrows (or takes) an electron or electrons. In the other bond type, the covalent bond, the two atoms involved share electrons.
What happens to a molecule that gives up an electron?
when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.
What is an atom that gives up electrons?
A cation
What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom they form a bond that is considered to be?
ionic
How can you get a negatively charged ion?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they are called ions. As electrons are negatively charged, it is when they gain electrons that they become negative ions, if they lose electrons they become positive ions. They can also form ions in pairs. for example sodium atom (NA) gives up it's outer electron and becomes an NA+ ion. the chlorine atom (CL) picks up the spare electron and becomes a CL- ion.
A molecule that gives up an elecron becomes?
Well if a atom loses or gains an electron it becomes an ion - a positively of negatively charged atom.

What is formed in a metallic when atoms give up electrons?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
An atom that has a positive or negative charge due to having unequal numbers of protons and electrons?
Ion If an atom either give up or gains electrons, it becomes an ion. an atom that has a positive or negative charge due to unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
When one atom gives up an electron to another atom what does it form?
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it forms an ion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
What is hydrogen called when it gives up electrons?
When a hydrogen atom loses an electron, it is simply a proton.
