What else can I help you with?
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.
What happens if the elements have different protons and electrons?
A neutral atom of a chemical element has a constant number of protons and electrons; loss or gain of electrons transform this atom in an ion.After the change of the number of protons the identity of the atom is lost.
When neutrons electrons and protons leave the atom what happens to the charge on the atom?
If neutrons, electrons, and protons leave the atom, the charge on the atom will change based on the number of protons and electrons that have left. Protons and electrons have opposite charges, so if electrons leave, the atom becomes positively charged, and if protons leave, the atom becomes negatively charged. Neutrons do not affect the charge of the atom since they are neutral.
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
What happens when two nitrogen atom share electrons?
They form a covalent bond.
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.
What happens when you have 3 electrons in an atom?
You have Lithium.
What happens to an atom when it has 8 electrons?
It has 8 electrons. And if its not an ion, then it has 8 protons.
When an atom changes to cation what happens to the number of electrons?
Electron/s are removed from the atom.
What happens when an atom has no more electrons?
it would fall apart.
What happens in an ionic bond?
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
An atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation) as it has more protons than electrons. On the other hand, when an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion) as it has more electrons than protons.
What happens when an atom loose an atom?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
What happens to the charge of an atom that loses electrons?
it gets positive charge
What happens if the elements have different protons and electrons?
A neutral atom of a chemical element has a constant number of protons and electrons; loss or gain of electrons transform this atom in an ion.After the change of the number of protons the identity of the atom is lost.
What happens to the protons in an atom when plasma is formed?
Nothing. Only the electrons are energetic enough to leave the atom.
What happens when a neutral atom becomes positive?
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
