What else can I help you with?
Which of the following are always larger than the neutral atoms from which they are formed.. A. positive ions B. negative ions C. cations D. none of the above?
B. negative ions. Negative ions are formed when neutral atoms gain electrons, increasing their size due to the additional electron(s) while positive ions or cations are formed when neutral atoms lose electrons, reducing their size.
How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
How does a cation form?
A cation forms when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. This loss of electrons leaves the atom with more protons than electrons, creating an overall positive charge.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
How do atoms get a positive charge?
Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
What happened when you change a neutral atom into a positive charged atom?
Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose the valence electrons.
Positive ions form when?
Positive ions (or cations) are formed when atoms lose electrons
How do the sizes of cations and anions relate to the atoms they form from?
Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons and hence are smaller in size than the corresponding atoms. Anions are formed when atoms gain electrons and hence are larger in size than the corresponding atoms.

What do you get if an atom gains or loses protons?
If atoms gain electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. If atoms lose electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
When atoms gain or lose electrons we call the resulting atom an ion. What are the two different types of ions and how are they formed?
The two types of ions are cations and anions. Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion, while anions are formed when atoms gain electrons, resulting in a negatively charged ion.
How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
Are radioactive isotopes produced when atoms lose electrons?
When atoms lose electrons cations are produced.

What are atoms which lose electrons to become stable known as?
cations
How do atoms get a positive charge?
Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
