Yes, atoms become positively or negatively charged when they lose an Ion. In this frame of reference, we have the element nitrogen with 7 protons and 7 electrons. When a charged Ion is absorbed out of it's presently neutral state, it gains an electrical charge. It becomes positively charged if an electron is pulled, because there are more protons (which are positively charged), and vice versa.
What else can I help you with?
How is a molecule formed?
Molecules are formed when atoms lose electrons and then attach themselves to other atoms
Does metal conduct heat readily?
Metal does indeed conduct heat readily. Metal also conducts electricity. The conductive properties of metal are due to the free electrons in metal atoms that allow for mobile charge.
How is electricity made?
=Usually, atoms have the same number of electrons and protons. Then the atom has no charge, it is "neutral." But if you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to another. Some atoms get extra electrons. They have a negative charge. Other atoms lose electrons. They have a positive charge. When charges are separated like this, it is called static electricity.=
What term is used to describe the sharing of valence electrons between two or more atoms?
When atoms share electrons as opposed to transferring them, the atoms are covalently bonded.
How are ions formed from atoms?
Ions are the formation of unbalanced atoms due to an attraction caused by a near completion of an electron ring in one atom and extra or valence electrons in the outer ring of another. If an atom gains an extra electron its over all charge is negative and the opposite is true for the atom gaining an electron.
Which atoms will lose an electron more readily?
true
Are radioactive isotopes produced when atoms lose electrons?
When atoms lose electrons cations are produced.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What kind of atoms tend to lose atoms?
Metals lose electrons.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
What type of atoms would typically form an ionic bond?
Atoms with a large difference in electronegativity, such as a metal and a nonmetal, typically form ionic bonds. This is because the metal atoms readily lose electrons to form positive ions, while the nonmetal atoms readily gain electrons to form negative ions, resulting in strong electrostatic attractions between the oppositely charged ions.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
What type of bond will carbon not form with?
Carbon will not form ionic bonds with other atoms because it is a nonmetal and does not readily gain or lose electrons to form ions.
Why can an atom lose electrons easily?
Atoms do not always lose electrons. Electrons can be gained too. Atoms always try to have their outer most shell filled, and some atoms such as ones of potassium can easily lose an electron rather than gain an electron. So it would lose an electron to a different atom so that it would have a full outer shell and the other atom would also have a full outer shell.
DOES platinum gain lose or share electrons?
Platinum typically loses or shares electrons, rather than gaining them. Platinum is a transition metal with an electron configuration that allows it to readily lose its outermost electrons, or to share them in bonding with other elements.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
