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.
What form when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged?
If you are asking what it is called, when an atom looses or gains electrons it is called an ion. Electrons are negative, so when an atom looses electrons it becomes more positive and is called an cation. So, when an atom gains electrons it becomes more negative and is called an anion.
What particle gains energy gets excited?
Electrons
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
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
When an atom gains or loses a valence electrons it becomes a charged particle called a?
Ion
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Atoms that gain or lose electrons are called ions. If it gains one or more electrons it becomes negative it is called an anion. If it loses one or more electrons and becomes positive it is called a cation.
What is a charged particle called that forms when an atom transfers electrons?
An ion.If the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, a cation.If the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, an anion.
Which subatomic particle changes when an atom becomes an ion?
When an atom becomes ionized, it gains or loses electrons (usually one).
A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?
Yes. A particle that loses an electron becomes an ion with a positive charge. A particle that gains an electron becomes an ion with a negative charge.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called what?
It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".
When an atom gains or lose a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion.
When an Atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charge particle called a?
Ion.
When an atom gains an electron the resulting particle is called what?
A cation is a positively charged particle formed by the loss of one or more electrons from an atom.
