Ions
When an electron is gained, the atom becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. When an electron is lost, the atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
They form an ionic compound.
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
An average grain of sand is about 7-10 times larger than a hydrogen atom in diameter, which corresponds to roughly 7-10 orders of magnitude in size difference.

Na^+ represents a sodium atom that has lost ONE ELECTRON.
It forms a new atom.
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
There are 3 quarks in each neutron. There are 12 neutrons in each proton. There is 1 proton in each atom. There is 36 quarks in each atom. There are about 27 million atoms in each grain of sand. 36 x 27,000,000 = 972,000,000. There are 972 million quarks in a grain of sand.
An atom of a different element.
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
An atom that has lost valence electrons is called a cation. This causes the atom to have a positive charge due to having more protons than electrons.
positive
When an electron is gained, the atom becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. When an electron is lost, the atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
