If a chlorine atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called aan?
If a chlorine atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as a chloride ion (Cl⁻). Conversely, if it were to lose a valence electron, which is less common for chlorine, it would become a positively charged ion, but this scenario is unlikely due to its high electronegativity. Thus, the most common ion formed by chlorine is Cl⁻ when it gains an electron.
How does the sodium atom becomes a positively charged ion?
It forms an ion by giving away its only electron in the valence shell (3rd energy level).
What does chlorine become when it gains one valence electron?
A negatively charged "ion".
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".
When an element loses an electron what happens to the charge of the element?
When "x" valence electrons are lost the charge is +x When "x" valence electrons are gained the charge is -x for example, if chlorine gained one electron, the charge would be Cl 1- or, if magnesium lost two electrons, the charge would be Mg 2+
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
When an atom gains or lose a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion.
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+).
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.
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
When a sodium atom loses a valence electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na+). When a sodium atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na-).
If a chlorine atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called aan?
If a chlorine atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as a chloride ion (Cl⁻). Conversely, if it were to lose a valence electron, which is less common for chlorine, it would become a positively charged ion, but this scenario is unlikely due to its high electronegativity.

When an atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle call a?
Ion.
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron to another atom what does it become?
If a sodium atom loses its only valence electron, it becomes a sodium cation (Na+). This is because it has lost a negative electron, leaving behind a positively charged ion.
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
When a valence electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-). These ions form an ionic bond due to the attraction between the opposite charges.
How does the sodium atom becomes a positively charged ion?
It forms an ion by giving away its only electron in the valence shell (3rd energy level).
Does a sodium atom lose or gain electrons when it becomes an ion?
Sodium loses its one valence electron to become Na+
