When an atom accepts an electron the resulting particle is called what?
a marriage
When an electron is removed from an atom it i considered what?
When an electron is removed from an atom, it is considered to be ionized. This results in the formation of a positively charged ion known as a cation, while the atom itself becomes positively charged.
How do the ways in which the mass and the charge of an atom are distributed differ?
IF it donates an electron -then atom gains positive charge and if it accepts an electron then it acquires negative charge. the mass of an atom is dependent on protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons decide the charge of an atom
What happens to an atom of fluorine (F) when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
It accepts one electron.
What is the energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons called?
The energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons is called the
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining?
An atom can become an ion by either gaining or losing electrons. If it gains electrons, it becomes an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a cation. An ion is merely an atom with a charge, either positive or negative.
What happens when sodium atom and chlorine atom exchange an electron?
They form an ionic bond
What is an atom that donates an electron called?
A substance that can donate a lone pair of electrons is called a Lewis base. The definition of a Lewis base is a compound or ionic species that can donate an electron pair to an acceptor compound.
When an atom accepts an electron the resulting particle is called what?
a marriage
Why is an atom which accepts an electron called reduced instead of oxidized?
An atom that accepts an electron is called reduced because it gains electrons, which leads to a reduction in its oxidation state. In a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction, the atom that accepts electrons is undergoing reduction, not oxidation.
What atom accepts electrons at the of the electron transport chain?
The atom that accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain is oxygen. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration, combining with electrons and protons to form water.
What atoms create an ionic bond?
An ionic bond is formed between atoms when one atom donates an electron to another atom. Typically, this occurs between a metal atom, which easily donates electrons to form positive ions, and a nonmetal atom, which readily accepts electrons to form negative ions. Examples include the bond between sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) to form sodium chloride (NaCl).
What happens to a neutral atom that accepts one electron?
The neutral atom then takes on a negative charge because the incoming electron has a negetive charge.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
Actually, when sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine, the sodium atom donates one electron to chlorine, resulting in the formation of a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion. The sodium ion becomes Na+ and the chloride ion becomes Cl-.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium the atom of chlorine does what?
accepts an electron to become the chloride anion, Cl-
When one atom loses an electron and another accepts that electron?
It depends on the exact situation. Probably ions Well this answer is vaguely correct. When an atom gains or loses an electron it becomes an ion. Ions with a net positive charge are called cations and ions with a net negative charge are anions. This allows for an ionic bond to occur. An ionic bond occurs when an anion binds with a cation.
