Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
The gain of electrons by an element is called what?
The loss of an electron is called oxidation. Its opposite is reduction.The loss of an electron increases the charge by +1.
The process of losing or gaining electrons is called what?
The process of losing or gaining electrons is called oxidation or reduction, respectively. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons, while reduction involves the gain of electrons. These two processes occur simultaneously in a redox reaction.
How many electrons does selenium gain or lose in forming an ion?
Selenium can gain 1 electron or loss 2, 4, 6 electrons.
What are charged atoms due to a loss or gain of electrons?
all charged particles are ions. cations are positive meaning they have more protons than electrons. anions are negative meaning they have more electrons than protons
Which atoms that gain or lose an electron?
For example metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Does reduction indicate a gain or a loss of electrons?
yes it is, it might be useful to know OILRIG: oxidation is loss , reduction is gain (of electrons)
What does a sulfur atom need to do to become an ion?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
Ions are electrically charged due to a gain or loss of?
Electrons
All electric charges are do to a loss or gain of what?
electrons
Loss or gain of electrons?
In what context? A particular element or what?
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
What does the acronym Oil RIG stands for in chemistry?
Oil RIG stands for "Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain." It is a way to remember that in a redox reaction, oxidation involves the loss of electrons and reduction involves the gain of electrons.
How does a ion become positive or negative?
The loss or gain of electrons
What are formed by a loss or gain of valence electrons during a chemical combination of elements?
Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, anions are formed by the gain of electrons. The force of attraction between cations and anions results in ionic bond.
How many electrons are lost or gained in a chemical reaction?
There is zero NET loss or gain of electrons
Does oxidation indicate gain or a loss if electrons?
Oxidation indicates a loss of electrons. When a substance undergoes oxidation, it loses electrons and often increases its oxidation state. This process is typically associated with the addition of oxygen or the removal of hydrogen. Conversely, reduction refers to the gain of electrons.
