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+
How many electron shells does the element titanium have?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
How many elements does the outer electron have?
An electron is not an element.
How is the number of electrons is a neutral atom of a given element related to the atomic number of that element?
The atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element. The proton count is the same as the electron count as all elements have a charge of zero giving them the same. Simplified: the atomic number shows you how many electrons and protons are in the element. If it is a compound and it has a charge of +1 that means the element has lost one electron and has a positive charge. If it gained a electron it would be -1 as electrons are negatively charged.
Does the atomic number equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
yes it does Update - Correct, the atomic number which sorts each element on to the periodic table is the amount of electrons inside an atom of that element. If an electron is lost then it becomes a positive ion but if an electron is gained the atom becomes a negative ion.
A Potassium atom has lost an electron in a chemical reaction It is now considered a?

What is the technical term for a molecule gains an electron?
It depends on which way it "lost" its electron. Ionization is the word for a charged atom, such as that of an atom which has lost or received an electron. Both Na+ and Cl- are ions and the sodium ion is the one who has lost an electron, while the chloride ion on the other hand has gained an electron.
What do you call an atom that has gained or lost a proton?
An atom of a different element.
What is the element with an electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s1?
With it being a dipositive ion, the original element has lost 2 electrons. Making the configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 2p4. That Configuration is Sulfur.
If an element is missing one electron... is it a positive ion negative ion different element or different isotope?
If an element is missing one electron, which is defined as having a negative charge, then the element is a positively charged ion. If an element gains an extra electron, it will have a negative charge and be a negative ion. An element with an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is considered to be a neutral element (in other words, no charge). By the way, no charge for this answer!

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+
Is oxygen an electron donating or withdrawing element?
Oxygen is an electron withdrawing element.
Electrons of the 19th element?
The 19th element is potassium, which has the atomic symbol K. It has 19 electrons, including one valence electron that can be easily lost.
How many electron shells does the element titanium have?

What element has no electron affinity?
Helium has no electron affinity.
How many elements does the outer electron have?
