Which element in an ionic bond loses electrons?
The metal, which becomes a cation. The non-metal gains one or more electrons to form an anion.
What happens with the electrons when an atom froms a cation and an anion?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
Is strontium a cation or anion?
Strontium can be a neutral atom or a cation.
How does an ion become a cation?
any atom lose one electron or more become positive ion ( Cation ) Dont really get your question:( BY definition, an atom that has lost or gained an electron meaning its a charged particle. A cation is an atom that has lost electrons to form a positively charged atom meaning that a cation is an ion. However, an anion also falls under the definition of an ion ( An anion is an atom that has gained an electron to form a negatively charged particle) In that case, it will need to lose electrons to form a cation(positively charged particle.) Not sure if you are referring to that though hope that helps:DD
Is aluminum a cation or an anion?
Aluminium, like most metals, forms cations easier than it does anions. The most common for aluminum is Al3+, when it has lost three electrons.
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
Is barium a cation or anion?
Barium loses two electrons in a reaction, so it becomes positive or a cation.
Binary ionic compound in which the anion and cation each have 10 electrons?
An example of a binary ionic compound where both the anion and cation have 10 electrons is lithium fluoride (LiF). Lithium is a cation with 3 electrons, and fluoride is an anion with 9 electrons. When lithium loses an electron and fluoride gains an electron, they form LiF with both having 10 electrons in their outer shells.
Ask us anythingAn ion is formed when an atom .?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electrons or electrons. If it gains an electron, it becomes an anion, and if it loses an electron it becomes a 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.
An atom that loses or gains electrons becomes a?
An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When a atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an?
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Phosphide is the name of the cation formed when lithium loses an electron?
NO, the correct one is : Phosphide is the name of the anion formed when Phosphorus gains 3 electrons.
10 What occurs in an atom to produce an ion?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged (anion) because it has more electrons than protons. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (cation) because it has more protons than electrons.
Which element in an ionic bond loses electrons?
The metal, which becomes a cation. The non-metal gains one or more electrons to form an anion.
If theres 3 protons and 4 electrons is it a cation or anion?
A cation has extra protons and it is positively charged. An Anion has extra electrons and it is negatively charged. From, your question, it is an anion.
