When one atom gives up an electron to another atom what does it form?
When one atom gives up an electron to another atom, it forms an ionic bond. The atom that loses the electron becomes positively charged (cation), while the atom that gains the electron becomes negatively charged (anion).
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 is hydrogen called when it gives up electrons?
When a hydrogen atom loses an electron, it is simply a proton.
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.")
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
When one atom gives up an electron to another atom what does it form?
When one atom gives up an electron to another atom, it forms an ionic bond. The atom that loses the electron becomes positively charged (cation), while the atom that gains the electron becomes negatively charged (anion).

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.
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.
An atom that has a positive or negative charge due to having unequal numbers of protons and electrons?
An atom that has a positive or negative charge due to having unequal numbers of protons and electrons is called an ion. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion), and if it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons?
An oxygen atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes an ion because it wants a full valence shell (as in, its outer energy level is trying to reach 8 electrons).
When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom they form a bond that is considered to be?
ionic
What is formed in a metallic when atoms give up electrons?
