No. it is not true. All positively charged atoms "lose" electrons. not gain them. for example an atom with a charge of +1 has lost 1 electron, an atom with a charge of +2 has lost 2 electrons and so and so forth.
Atoms are electrically balanced and have no charge, since they have the same number of negative electrons and positive protons.
An atom can ionize - that is, gain or lose electrons. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it has a positive charge. If an atom gains one or more electrons, it has a negative charge.
When an atom gains or loses a valence electron, it becomes a charged particle known as an ion. The uneven number of protons and electrons will yield either a positive or a negative charge. A positively charged ion is known as a cation, and a negatively charged ion is known as an anion.
true but only to combine with other elements to form ionic compounds (IE their electronegative charge determines whether they lose or gain electrons)
False, because electrons carry negative charge and protons carry positive charge.
False. More correct would be;
'A neutral atom that gains or loses one or more electrons is called an ion'
true
false
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.
No, ionic bonds form between particles with opposite charges.
False, electrons are negatively charged whereas neutrons have no charge. An electron is of opposite charge to a proton which has a positive charge.
No. This is a definition of an atom. Electrons are only part of atoms.
false[
That is a true statement.
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
It is false that the loss of electrons from food molecules is reduction. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles.
Protons are positively charged but found in the NUCLEUS (so false). Electrons are found in the orbitals (but are negatively charged)
Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.
false
it is False.
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
Statement itself is incomplete. How can one say whether it is true or false>
False. That's friction.
False. That's friction.
