Ions (charged particles) are formed by the loss or gain of electrons.
In an atom, there are equal numbers of electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged) so atoms are neutral. If an atom were to lose electrons, there would be more protons than electrons so a positive ion (cation) would be formed. If an atom were to gain electrons, there would be more electrons than protons so a negative ion (anion) would be formed.
Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus (so they have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses) are called isotopes.

Does a weak acid gain a proton?
No, a weak acid donates a proton (H+ ion) when it dissociates in water, rather than gaining one. This donation of a proton is what causes the weak acid to ionize and form its conjugate base.
Is a carbonate ion acidic or basic?
A carbonate ion would be a proton acceptor, making it a base. _________________________________________________________________ False, CO3 2- is an acidic ion, but forms a weak acid. Hence, it dissociates into H2O and CO2.
What molecule loses a proton to form the nitrate ion?
The molecule of nitric acid lose a hydrogen atom, not only a proton.
How can an ion of neg 3 be formed from a naturally occurring element?
An ion with a charge of -3 is formed when an atom of an element gains three extra electrons. This can happen through chemical reactions where the atom accepts electrons from other atoms that are willing to donate them. One example is nitrogen, which can form the nitride ion (N3-) by gaining three electrons.
What element would be a positive ion compound Sr or Te?
Strontium (Sr) would typically form a positive ion, since it is a Group 2 metal that tends to lose 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Tellurium (Te) is a nonmetal and would typically form a negative ion by gaining electrons.
Which element can form a negative ion of the type X3?
every element
What element has one proton and zero neutrons?
Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.
What element is a proton?
A single proton (not part of a larger nucleus) is the same as a positive hydrogen ion.
What molecule loses a proton to form the hydroxide ion?
Water (H2O) donates a proton (H+) to form the hydroxide ion (OH-).
Which element can form a chloride?
Compound known as chloride contain the element chlorine, typically in the form of the chloride ion.
Why is the H plus ion referred to as a proton?
Because it is a proton. A hydrogen atom is a proton and an electron; if you take the electron away to form a positive ion, all that's left is the proton.
What do you call an atom that has gained or lost a proton?
An atom of a different element.
Does a weak acid gain a proton?
No, a weak acid donates a proton (H+ ion) when it dissociates in water, rather than gaining one. This donation of a proton is what causes the weak acid to ionize and form its conjugate base.
Is fluorine an ion?
No. Fluorine is a chemical element. It will readily form fluoride ions.
Which element can only form one ion?
which element can only formed one ion
What element can form a positive Ion Is it magnesium or carbon or oxygen or bromine?
Every Group I element (that is, the ones in the first column) have a ... Thus, bromine, oxygen, and carbon thus all form negative ions, while magnesium forms a positive ion (+2)
Is a carbonate ion acidic or basic?
A carbonate ion would be a proton acceptor, making it a base. _________________________________________________________________ False, CO3 2- is an acidic ion, but forms a weak acid. Hence, it dissociates into H2O and CO2.
