When an atom actually gains a neutron from outside it is called neutron capture. Atoms almost never emit neutrons (except when high energy processes happen).
Most cases of "gain or loss" of neutrons by an atom happen entirely inside the nucleus, when the process of Beta decay converts a proton to or from a neutron.
What else can I help you with?
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
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.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that gains or loses electrons is now an ION. If it loses electrons to become M^(n+), then it is a CATION. If it gains electrons to become X^(n-), then it is an ANION. NB Atoms that gain or lose electrons are no longer atoms , but IONS.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An ION . Metal (M) ionises ( loses electrons) M(g) = M^(n-) + ne^(-) M^(n+) is a CATION . Non-metal (X) has electron affinity ( gains electrons) X(g) + ne^(-) = X^(n-) X^(n-) is an ANION .
An atom that loses or gains electrons is called .?
An atom that loses or gains electrons is called an ion. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
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.
When an atom loses or gains an atom its called?
covalent/ionic bonding.
What Is a atom that grain or lost atom?
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

Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When a atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an?
ION A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION NB When an atom becomes a charged species it is no longer an atom, but an ION . An atom has a neutral charge.
When an atom gains or loses electrons it is called an?
covalent/ionic bonding.

When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
