When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
What happens to an atom if it loses an electron?
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes an anion, which is negative. Anions are larger than the original atom because of the added electrons. N + electron(-) --> N(-) If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and positively charged. Cations are smaller than the original atom because of the lost electrons. N(2+) = cation
What happens when an loses an electron?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
If an atom loses an electron 'negative charge' it becomes?
If it loses an electron (negative charge) it becomes positive.
What particle has to be removed from an atom so the atom becomes positive?
An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
What happens when atoms loses an electron?
AnswerA neutral atom that loses an electron becomes an ion that is positively charged (also called a cation).When a calcium atom loses two electrons it becomes positively charged.
What happens when a sodium loses an electron in its outer shell?
It becomes positive.
What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
