When an atom bonds the atom joins a 2nd atom to become a what?
a compound.
What do radioactive elements gain when they emit radiation?
They become slightly more stable with each decay until they become stable and stop decaying.
Can an atom become denatured?
Yes
If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
When chlorine gains an electron to become a chloride ion with a -1 charge it ends up with the same electron arrangement as argon. Why doesn't it become an argon atom?
It doesn't become an argon atom because it (Cl-) still has 17 protons, and an argon atom has to have 18 protons.
What happens when the number of proton changes?
The atom is decaying, otherwise known as fission.

This atom become a cation (positive).
What does nonmetal atom need to do in order to become an anion?
This atom gains electrons.
When a chlorine atom ionizes. what does its charge become?
When a chlorine atom ionizes, it gains one electron to become the chloride ion with a charge of -1.
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
