The process of removing an electron from something is called either oxidation or ionization. Ionization is the process of converting an atom or molecule by changing the number of electrons. In certain chemical reactions, the oxidation state of an atom or molecule is changed, and this is known as oxidation. See more details in the Web Links to the left of this answer.
What else can I help you with?
What is An atom with one extra electron or one missing electron called?
An atom with one extra electron is called an anion, while an atom with one missing electron is called a cation.
An atom can be changed into an ion by adding or removing?
Adding or removing electrons. Adding an electron will create a negatively charged ion (anion), while removing an electron will create a positively charged ion (cation).
What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?
When you add an electron to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When you subtract an electron from an atom, the atom becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
The particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is the?
The sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called an electron.
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
What is An atom with one extra electron or one missing electron called?
An atom with one extra electron is called an anion, while an atom with one missing electron is called a cation.
An atom can be changed into an ion by adding or removing?
Adding or removing electrons. Adding an electron will create a negatively charged ion (anion), while removing an electron will create a positively charged ion (cation).
What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?
When you add an electron to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When you subtract an electron from an atom, the atom becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
Is the procedure by which an atom is given a net charge by adding or taking way electron?
The process by which an atom is given a net charge by adding or removing electrons is called ionization. When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged (anion), and when it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged (cation).
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What do you call the region of an atom in which electrons move?
The region of an atom in which the electrons move is called the electron shell, or electron cloud.
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.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
The particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is the?
The sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called an electron.
What is the fuzzy part of an atom called?
I suppose on some atom models the electron cloud would be called "fuzzy".
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
