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.
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 does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons it becomes a particle called an?
An Ion. An atom that loses electrons to become positively charged is a CATION. An atom that gains electrons to become negatively charged is an ANION. One there is an imbalanbced of electrons to protons, then it is is no longer and atom but an ion. An ATOM is a neutrally charged species An ION is a positively/negatively charged species.
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 .
A magnesium atom is converted to a magnesium ion when the atom?
Loses two electrons.

What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.
What is the name of an atom that loses one or more electrons?
An atom that loses one or more electrons is an ion, specifically a cation.
What type of ion forms when atom lose electrons?
Losing an ion creates a positive charge. This forms a positive ion.
What does an atom become when it loses or gains electrons?

When are ions formed?
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
What type of ion forms when an atom loses protons?
Atoms NEVER lose protons, just electrons.
