When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?
THe lithoium atom has IONISED ( lost) an electron, to become the lithium ION.
Why do Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become an ion?
bcc it's the same
What do atoms become when they lose or gain an electron?
When atoms lose or gain an electron, they become ions. If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.
What forms when atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged they are know as?
When atoms lose or gain electrons and become positively or negatively charged, they form ions. Positively charged ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions.
What does a sulfur atom need to do to become an ion?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
What an atom has to do to become an ion?
Lose or gain an electron

When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?
THe lithoium atom has IONISED ( lost) an electron, to become the lithium ION.
What ways can an atom become an ion?
It may lose or gain an electron in its valence shell.
How is a positive charge formed?
When an atom lose electrons become a cation (positively charged).
When reacting with an atom of chlorine an atom of lithium will lose an electron and become a litium?
In a reaction with chlorine, a lithium atom will lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Once it loses an electron, it becomes a lithium cation, which has a charge of +1.
When metals combine with nonmetals the metallic atom tends to?
lose electrons and form cations.
Is an atom of potassium most likely to become a cation or an anion?
An atom of potassium is most likely to become a cation. Potassium tends to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a positively charged ion.
When hydrogen loses atoms what is formed?
Hydrogen itself is an atom. If that hydrogen atom were to lose/gain/share electrons it would become an isotope/ ion
Does cl gain or lose to become more stable?
to become stable, it will gain an electron from a metallic atom otherwise it will mutually share electron(s) with another non - metallic atom, or even with itself
