The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
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 is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
What are the different members of an atoms family called?
The different members of an atom's family are called isotopes, ions, and allotropes. Isotopes are variants of an element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Ions are charged particles formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element, like carbon's diamond and graphite forms.
How can you get a negatively charged ion?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they are called ions. As electrons are negatively charged, it is when they gain electrons that they become negative ions, if they lose electrons they become positive ions. They can also form ions in pairs. for example sodium atom (NA) gives up it's outer electron and becomes an NA+ ion. the chlorine atom (CL) picks up the spare electron and becomes a CL- ion.
Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously?
No, the atom would have to be in an environment where it could gain or loose electrons.
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
What determines whether an atom forms a positive or negative charge in an ionic bond?
If an atom is electropositive (metals, in general), then they will lose electrons and form positive ions. If an atom is electronegative (non-metals, in general), then they will gain electrons and form negative ions.
What are formed when elements gain or loose electrons?
ions
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 2 way are ions form from atoms?
Ions can be formed from atoms through the gain or loss of electrons. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion, whereas when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and forms a cation.
)What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or loose charge?
ions

What do you call atoms that gain or loose electrons?
== == == == The answer is an ionic atom.== ==when it gains an electron, it acquires partial negative charge and it's at.weight increaseswhen it looses electron; it acquires partial positive charge and at.weight decreases
What is the particle that an antom can loose or gain in order to form into a charged iron?
Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]
What forms when atoms gain or lose electrons and become positively and negatively charged?
ions
Is the valency equal to ionic charge of an atom?
Yes, it is. Since valency is the no. of electrons an element should gain or loose or share to become stable. So, this is true in case of substances which form ions. But elements like carbon never form ions. Its valency is four. It shares electrons to get stable.
