Why a hydrogen atom can become either an ion or a part of a molecule?
Hydrogen only has one proton ,so it can pass that one proton onto another element, making it part of a molecule. It can become an ion if it loses that proton, or gains that proton.
What can happen to an electron in an atom when it gains or loses energy?
it gains or acquires a charge either positive or negative so when it gains energy, it aquires a negative charge then when it loses energy, it aquires a positive charge
What happen when an atom forms an ion?
For an atom to form an ion, it has to either gain or lose one or more electrons. Usually this happens during a chemical reaction, when an element gains or loses electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
What does chemically joined mean?
Atoms form bonds by sharing electrons or gaining or losing electrons to other atoms.For example:Carbon forms bonds by sharing four electrons with other atoms.Sodium forms bonds by losing an electron to another atom - that makes sodium positive and the atom such as chlorine that gains the electron positive - so a bond is formed.Chemically joined means that bonds are formed between atoms.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
When an atom combines chemically with another atom it either gains or loses or shares is?
Electrons.
What is the smallest atom in group 6A and gains 2 electrons to become chemically stable?
tabalu..:)
How many electrons would polonium lose to become stable?
Atoms become chemically neutral with either 2 or 8 electrons in the outermost orbital. Polonium would lose 2 electrons to become chemically neutral. Because Polonium is radioactive it will remain unstable until gains two in Atomic Number to resemble the configuration of Lead.
Does an atom change with positive charges?
When an atom gains a positive charge it either gains a proton or gains an electron It could also lose one of them
What were the results of the was of 1812?
There were no gains in territory by either side.
What were results of the was of 1812?
There were no gains in territory by either side.
When chlorine gains an electron what achieves a complete octet?
when chlorine gains an electron, it now now contains a full octet. this means that the chlorine element is now chemically perfect and now is stable , but not as stable as one of the Noble Gases
How a fungus gains nutrition?
From it's host, either alive or dead
When a substance is heated it must gain electrons and energy?
Yes, it gains kinetic energy, for instance, when water is heated into water vapours the molecules of water vapour move faster than the molecules of water. This is because the water vapour has more kinetic energy than water.
How are objects able to gain energy as well as use it?
An object gains energy when it is either heated or pushed. If pushed vertically, it gains gravitational potential energy. If pushed horizontally, it gains kinetic energy.
If an atom either gains or looses the atom called what?
These atoms becomes ions.
What does copper foil look like after heating?
It forms a layer of black copper oxide on the surface. It also gains weight because it combines with oxygen from he air. This is a permanent change.
