What else can I help you with?
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
Does an atom become imbalanced with a positive charge?
The stability of the positive ion depends on the atom which removes the electron. As an example, when a sodium atom becomes positive, it is highly stable, on the contrary, when a chlorine atom becomes positive, it is highly unstable.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What happens when an atom loses one or more electrons and retains the same number of protons?
This atom become a positive ion (cation).
When an atom loses an electron and become negatively charged we refer to it as an?
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a positive ion
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
An atom that gives up electrons becomes an?
This atom become a cation (positive 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.
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 a positive sodium ion and sodium atom?
When the neutral atom of sodium lose an electron become the cation Na+.
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
Does an atom become imbalanced with a positive charge?
The stability of the positive ion depends on the atom which removes the electron. As an example, when a sodium atom becomes positive, it is highly stable, on the contrary, when a chlorine atom becomes positive, it is highly unstable.
Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
Atom that loses electons is a ion?
Well im not great at science but i know that a atom which gains or loses an electron will gain a negitive/positive charge and become an ion
What must happen to a atom for it to become an ion with a positive plus 1charge?
It must loose an electron.
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.
