What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
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 cesium reacts with oxygen to form an ionic compound each metal atom loses 2 electrons and each nonmetal atom gains?
In the reaction between cesium and oxygen, cesium (Cs) loses 1 electron to form Cs+ ions, while oxygen (O) gains 2 electrons to form O2- ions. This results in the formation of the ionic compound cesium oxide (Cs2O).
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
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 many electron potassium gains or loses?
Potassium loses one electron.
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains 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)
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.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
What kind of bond forms when an atom loses or gains an electron?
no
An ion id formed when an atom?
gains or loses an electron.
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.
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.

In the reaction between cesium and oxygen, cesium (Cs) loses 1 electron to form Cs+ ions, while oxygen (O) gains 2 electrons to form O2- ions. This results in the formation of the ionic compound cesium oxide (Cs2O).
