This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons

What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What ion is form when an atom gains electrons?
Typically, a negative ion is formed by gaining electrons. This is because electrons hvae a negative charge. An example of a case where a positive ion can be formed by gaining an electron is when an ion with a charge of +2 can gain 1 electron and become +1. Technically in this case, a positive ion was formed when an electron was gained but the trend was that the ion became more negative not positive.
What is the difference between a positive and negative ion?
There is a different between a postive and negative ion. Ion's depend on protons and electrons. If there is 4 protons and 5 electrons , it would make it a negative ion because the extra electron would have no other neutron to pair up with to make it a balance atom. If there is 4 protons and 3 electrons , it would make it a postive ion because the extra proton doesn't have any other electron to pair up to , to cancel it out. When there is an even amount of electrons and protons then the atom would be a balance atom. So therefore it would have no charge. So therefore telling the difference form a postive and negative ion depends on the extra proton or neutron.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
How does an atom become a positive ion a nevative ion?
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
An atom is called an ion if there?
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
What is the difference of an atom or an ion?
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
What is an atom that has a positive or negative charge?
An Ion.
Why are ions charged and thus no longer neutral?
the positive and negative energy is no longer in balance causing the atom to become an ion+ or an ion-
What is an atom or group of atoms what has become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What is an atom with a positive charge or negative charge called?
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
What are atoms called when they become charged positively or negative?
In general, an atom with a charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion.A positively charged atom is called a cation and a negatively charged atom is an anion.
What is the difference between the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion?
positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron
