What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What is the energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons called?
The energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons is called the
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
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.
If an atom gains an electron or loses an electron what is it called?
Gains: anion (-) Loses: cation (+)
Ask us anythingAn ion is formed when an atom .?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electrons or electrons. If it gains an electron, it becomes an anion, and if it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What atom that gains an electron is called?
an anion
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
What is the energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons called?
The energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons is called the
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
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.
If an atom gains an electron it is known as this and has a negative charge?
if an atom gains an eletron it is more negative and ic called a anion
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).
What forms when an atom has lost or gained electrons?
When an atom looses an electron is called "a cation, when gains is called an "anion".
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
