In an ionic compound does one or more atoms lose electrons and one or more atoms gain?
In an ionic compound, one or more atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions (cations), while one or more atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged ions (anions). These oppositely charged ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces to form the ionic compound.

What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
What is it when 2 atoms gain or loses an electron?
an ionic compound is formed
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
What is the name of the bond that takes place when the atom's electrons give or gain electrons?
Ionic bonding- the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This results in ions, as the atoms which gain/lose electrons now have a charge.
Why do atoms share electrons?
They share electrons when they try and corm covalent or ionic bonds. This is because the atoms want to gain a full outer shell. So when they share electrons they can have full shells.
Is it an ionic compound if one or more atoms loses electrons and one or more atoms gain electrons?
possible
Is ionic compound a solid?
An Ionic compound is any compound in which some of the atoms gain or lose electrons to form Ions, and it has no specific state (solid, liquid, gas). So, the short answer is no, not necessarily.
What forms when atoms gain electrons Lose electrons?
An ionic bond.
How does a atom become a ionic compound?
An atom becomes an ionic compound when it loses or gains electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. When atoms lose electrons, they become positively charged ions (cations), while atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged ions (anions). These oppositely charged ions then attract each other to form an ionic bond and create the compound.
When nonmetals and metals react which atoms gain electron?
The non-metallic atoms will gain electrons, while the metallic atoms will lose electrons to become ions. An ionic compound is thus formed and all ions will have the noble gas configuration/structure.
Is CuF2 ionic or covalent?
CuF2 is an ionic compound because copper (Cu) is a metal and fluorine (F) is a nonmetal. Metal atoms tend to lose electrons, while nonmetal atoms tend to gain electrons to form ionic bonds. In CuF2, copper loses two electrons to fluorine atoms to form the compound.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Smallest piece of an ionic compound?
The smallest piece of an ionic compound is called an ion, which is a charged particle formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. These ions are brought together through electrostatic forces to form a neutral ionic compound.
What is a type of chemical bond where atoms gain or lose electrons?
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are gained or lost. This is the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. For e.g sodium(Na) releases its one electron which is transfered to the deserving chlorine atom(Cl). So, chlorine becomes negatively charged and the sodium atom becomes a positive ion(Na+). This is the case when electrons are completely transfered from sodium to chlorine and ionic bond is formed i.e NaCl. Moreover, when electrons are shared between atoms covalent bonds may form.
What is it when 2 atoms gain or loses an electron?

Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?

What is a chemical bond where atoms either gain or loose electrons?
ionic bonding :]
