In forming this neither atom gains or loses an electron so no ions are formed?
subscript
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
It can be positive or negative depending on if the atom loses or gains an electron. If it gains an electron it becomes negative and if it loses an electron it becomes positive.
An ion id formed when an atom?
gains or loses an electron.
Ask us anythingAn ion is formed when an atom .?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electrons or electrons. If it gains an electron, it becomes an anion, and if it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
Where is Ions form?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron
If a neutral atom loses or gains an electron what is formed?
An Ion. More specifically if it gains an electron it becomes an anion and it it loses an electron it becones an cation (pronounced Kat-ion)
Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?
This is half true. An ion is formed when an atom loses OR gains an electron. When it loses an electron it's called cation because it has a positive charge, and if it gains an electron it's called anion because it has a negative charge.
In forming this neither atom gains or loses an electron so no ions are formed?
subscript
What ion is formed when an atom loses an electron.?
A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
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 happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
Why are ions made?
Ions are made for clothes can not be wrinkly An ion is formed when an atom [or molecule] gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron it acquires negative charge. If the atom or molecule loses an electron it becomes positively charged.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
Ions formed when a atom gains or loses electrons. An atom that has either a positive or negative charge is known as an ion.
