What else can I help you with?
Why the radius of an atom larger than the radius a positive ion formed from it?
The positive ion lost an electron.
Does electron affinity gain electrons?
Yes. Electron affinity is the process by which a neutral atom gains an electron and the EA is the measure of energy released. The resulting ion will be negative.
When a helium atom loses an electron then what is formed?
Type your answer here... when helium atom removes a electron it forms a helium+ ion.(He+)
What is the number of protons and electron in chrloride ion?
chloride ion is formed when chlorine atom adds one electron. Chloride ion thus has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
The ion formed by a fluorine atom is called a?
The ion formed by a fluorine atom is called a fluoride ion, which has a charge of -1. It is formed when a fluorine atom gains an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell.
Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?
This is half true. An ion is formed when an atom loses OR gains an electron. When it loses an electron it's called cation because it has a positive charge, and if it gains an electron it's called anion because it has a negative charge.
When bromine atom gains one electron?
a bromide ion is formed, the ion formed has a -1 charge, and the ion formed is an anion
What ion is formed when an atom loses an electron.?
A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
NO!!! Atom is formed by the gain/loss of electrons. When an atom gain/loses electrons it is an ION NOT an atom. NB A positively (+) charged ion is a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is an ANION .
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.
An ion id formed when an atom?
gains or loses an electron.
What is the charge on an ion formed by a sodium atom?
The charge on an ion formed by a sodium atom is +1. Sodium readily loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a positively charged ion.
Where is Ions form?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron
What is formed when an atom gains or looses an electrons?
When an atom gains or loses an electron, it forms an ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion), and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
What is the symbol and name for the cation formed when a potassium atom loses one electron?
The symbol for the cation formed when a potassium atom loses one electron is K+, and is named the potassium ion.
