First of all to correct your English grammar. The question should read ; - " What is a**n** atom that g(r)ain or loses electrons?"
The answer is an ION .
A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION
A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION
What else can I help you with?
What happens when an atom that has lost an electronic comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron comes in contact with a atom that has gained a electron?
-Apex: They form an Ionic Compound.
How much larger is an avg grain of sand than a hydrogen atom using powers of ten?
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.
A lithium atom that has lost an electron it comes near a Chlorine atom that has gained an electron what happens?
They form an ionic compound
What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
NO!!! Atom is formed by the gain/loss of electrons. When an atom gain/loses electrons it is an ION NOT an atom. NB A positively (+) charged ion is a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is an ANION .
What atom is in a one grain of sand?
a regular atom
What symbol Na plus represents a sodium atom that has lost?
Na is a neutrally charged sodium atom . Na^(+) is a positively charged sodium cation. It is given the plus(+) sign because it has lost one electron ' e^(-) ' So the sodium ion contains 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-) Summing. 11 + 10 - = 1(+) hence the plus(+) sign. Latin symbol for sodium, which is 'Nadium'.
What happpens when an atom has lost an electron contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
It forms a new atom.
What difference between atom and ion?
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.
What are differences between atom and ion?
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.
How many quarks in a grain of sand?
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.
What do you call an atom that has gained or lost a proton?
An atom of a different element.
What happens when a neutral atom becomes positive?
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
What is an atom called that has lost valence electrons?
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.
What is the charge of an atom that has lost electons?
positive
What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
NO!!! Atom is formed by the gain/loss of electrons. When an atom gain/loses electrons it is an ION NOT an atom. NB A positively (+) charged ion is a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is an ANION .
What happens when an atom that has lost an electronic comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
