What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
Which element can form both positive and negative ions?
Hydrogen is the element that can form both positive (H+) and negative (H-) ions. When hydrogen gains an electron, it forms a negative ion, and when it loses an electron, it forms a positive ion.
Does an atom change with positive charges?
When an atom gains a positive charge, it loses one or more electrons. This alters its charge but not its identity as an element. The number of protons, which defines the element, remains the same in a positively charged atom.
If an atom gains an electron or loses an electron what is it called?
Gains: anion (-) Loses: cation (+)
How many electron potassium gains or loses?
Potassium loses one electron.
If a neutral atom loses or gains an electron what is formed?
An Ion. More specifically if it gains an electron it becomes an anion and it it loses an electron it becones an cation (pronounced Kat-ion)
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
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 kind of bond forms when an atom loses or gains an electron?
no
An ion id formed when an atom?
gains or loses an electron.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
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 atom that gains or loses an electron and is a charged particle?
ionic bond
Where is Ions form?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron
