What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
When an element becomes an ion, it can either gain or lose electrons. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost.
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
Why do elements acquire positive charge on gaining electrons?
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.

What are formed when elements gain or loose electrons?
ions

What particles come loose to make electric charge?
electrons
Why do elements acquire positive charge on gaining electrons?
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
What is it called when a atom that has gained or lost and electron and now has a net electric charge?
When atoms (elements) gain or loose electrons, they become Ions. If an atom looses electrons it becomes +1 charge, whereas if an atom gains electrons it becomes -1 charge.
How are protons related to elements?
Protons are the positive charge electrons in atoms that make up elements.
What do protrons and electrons share?
They generally don't share anything... in balenced atoms there is the same amount of protons and electrons so that the atom has an overall no charge... if you loose an electron you get a positvly chared ion particle and vice versa if you loose a proton (you get a negatively charged ion) this is because protons have a positve charge and electrons have a negative charge...
What is the charge for a bromine ion with 26 electrons?
A bromine ion with only 26 electrons is not possible. A bromine atom has 35 electrons and it can't loose 9 electrons.
