A cation
When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom, they form an ionic bond. In this type of bond, the atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the atom that gains the electrons becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions holds them together, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound. This type of bonding typically occurs between metals and nonmetals.
The atom's electrons.
When an atom gives away electrons to another atom, it becomes positively charged (as it loses negatively charged electrons) and forms a positively charged ion. The atom that gains electrons becomes negatively charged and forms a negatively charged ion. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of an ionic bond between the two atoms.
Because electrons have a negative charge. If you take two negatively charged particles from a neutral atom, the atom (well, ion, technically) will have to be positively charged in order for the charges to balance.
An atom is made up of neutrons, electrons and protons.
This atom become a cation (positive charge).
When a hydrogen atom loses an electron, it is simply a proton.
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
ionic
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
its electrons
These are the electrons.
When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom, they form an ionic bond. In this type of bond, the atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the atom that gains the electrons becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions holds them together, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound. This type of bonding typically occurs between metals and nonmetals.
It must take electrons from either another atom or be ionized. If it takes electrons from another atom then it has more electrons than protons, which gives it a negative charge.
The atom's electrons.
This is the loaning (by one atom) and the borrowing (by another atom) of a valence electron or electrons that creates a chemical bond. This type of bond is the ionic bond where one atom loans (or gives up) and the other borrows (or takes) an electron or electrons. In the other bond type, the covalent bond, the two atoms involved share electrons.
