What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
What is an atom that gains and loses an electron and has an electric charge?
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called what?
It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
Sometimes an atom loses or gains an electron. What is this called?
ionization Redox reactions
When an Atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charge particle called a?
Ion.
Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?
Yes, an ion is formed when an atom either loses or gains an electron, resulting in a net positive or negative charge, respectively. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
What kind of bond forms when an atom loses or gains an electron?
no
