An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When a atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an?
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.
What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
An atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation) as it has more protons than electrons. On the other hand, when an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion) as it has more electrons than protons.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
What happens when atom looses electron?
If an atom loosed electrons then it becomes an ion. The electrical charge in the atom becomes a positive ion.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
When an atom gains an electron the atom becomes an ion that?
yes...on gaining an electron, the atom becomes an anion i.e. negatively charged ion.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When a atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an?
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Which subatomic particle changes when an atom becomes an ion?
When an atom becomes ionized, it gains or loses electrons (usually one).
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.
A charged atom is?
A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Strip electrons from an atom and the atom becomes a?
Positive ion
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.
