A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
What does an object get when it gains or loses electrons?
When an object gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged. When it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged. This change in charge affects the object's interactions with other charged objects.
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called what?
It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".
Which ion has GAINED an electron to produce the charge?
If an ion gains an electron that means the ion will be negatively charged.The name of that ion is called anion. On the other hand, if it loses and electron the ion will be positively charged, and the name of that ion is called cation.
When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
How does an ion become Negatively charge?
it loses a proton or gains an electron
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
What is a neutral atom that gains or loses electrons?
A neutral atom that subsequently gains or loses one [or more] electrons is called an ion. If it gains an electron [or electrons] it will have a negative charge. If it loses an electron [or electrons] it will have a positive charge.
Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?
Yes, an ion is formed when an atom either loses or gains an electron, resulting in a net positive or negative charge, respectively. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation.
When an Atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charge particle called a?
Ion.
What is the gain or loss of electrons?
An electron has a negative charge. If an atom loses an electron it creates an ion with a positive charge. If an atom gains an electron it creates an ion with a negative charge.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
How many electron potassium gains or loses?
Potassium loses one electron.
Will an object become positivley or negatively charged if it gains electrons?
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
What can happen to an electron in an atom when it gains or loses energy?
it gains or acquires a charge either positive or negative so when it gains energy, it aquires a negative charge then when it loses energy, it aquires a positive charge
What has a positive charge if it loses an electron but has a negative charge if it gains an electron?
Any solid, liquid, gas, atom, molecule, object, or space that started out electrically neutral.
