What is the loss of electrons from a molecule?
Oxidation
What is a molecule with uneven electrons called?
an ion
When a molecule gains oxygen or loses electrons its called?
an ion
True or False when an atoms gains or loses electrons the charged particle that results is called a molecule?
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
What is the loss of one or more electrons from an atom called?
oxidation
The loss of electrons by a molecule atom or ion is called?
oxidation. Gaining electrons is called reduction.
Loss of electrons from a molecule is called?
Ionization, it becomes a cation
What is the loss of electrons from a molecule?
Oxidation
Reaction in which electrons are transfered between atoms?
This is called a redox reaction, where one molecule gains electrons and one molecule loses electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and oxidation the gain of electrons. It can be remembered as OILRIG (Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain).
Is a molecule that has lost electrons been reduced?
OIL RIGOxidation Is Loss (of electrons)Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)So no, a molecule which has lost electrons has a positive charge and so has been oxidised
Loss of electrons is called?
oxidation..........
What is a molecule with uneven electrons called?
an ion
The loss of an electron by a molecule is called what?
Oxidation
What is the loss and gain of electrons to form ions?
It can be called oxidation (loss of electrons) or reduction (gain of electrons) if it occurs in a chemical reaction.It can also be called ionization.
What does a molecule that has been oxidized have?
Well it has less electrons than it had before. That is the definition of oxidation. The loss of electrons is oxidation. The gain of electrons is reduction.
When a donor molecule loses an electron do we say it has become reduced?
Loss of electrons is oxidation.
What is called when electrons are not shared equally in a molecule?
polar
