What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
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?
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
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.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?

What is a atom yhat loses electrons?
An ion.
What does an atom become when it loses or gains electrons?
it becomes an ion
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 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.
An ion is formed when am atom?
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses 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 type of ion forms when atom lose electrons?
Losing an ion creates a positive charge. This forms a positive ion.
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.
