It equals to plus three+3. Three electrons are removed
Usually 2 or 3
the chromium ion
lose electrons
+3
A neutral Chromium atom loses 3 electrons to become a Chromium (III) ion.
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
Aluminum loses 3 electrons. Since electrons have a negative charge losing them would make the aluminum atom lessnegative, which is positive. Hence, Al+3
A positive ion. Originally atoms have a neutral charge with equal amount of electrons and protons. If atom loses electrons, it still has the same amount of protons so it becomes a positive ion
A neutral Chromium atom loses 3 electrons to become a Chromium (III) ion.
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
an ion
An atom that loses one or more electrons becomes positively charged, because the number of protons (+) in the nucleus will outnumber the electrons (-).
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
An ion.
it becomes an ion
None.Calcium loses 2 electrons to form an ion.
Aluminum loses 3 electrons. Since electrons have a negative charge losing them would make the aluminum atom lessnegative, which is positive. Hence, Al+3
Chromium lose 6 or 3 electrons.
Atoms with a positive or negative charge resulting from a loss or gain of electrons are known as ions.
A positive ion. Originally atoms have a neutral charge with equal amount of electrons and protons. If atom loses electrons, it still has the same amount of protons so it becomes a positive ion
