What else can I help you with?
When atoms lose or gain electrons they are called what?
ion
How many electrons are lost or gained in the element o when they form ions?
atoms gain and lose electrons, so they can have a full outer shell of 8 electrons (or two electrons if its the innermost shell) when atoms lose electrons it is called oxidation and when they gain electrons they are said to be reduced. OIL RIG is most commonly used to help remember that oxidation is loss and reduction is gain of electons. when atoms lose electrons they are left with a positive charge and when they can electrons they have a negative charge.
When neutral molecules gain or lose electrons are called?
An ion.
What is the process called to replace lost electrons?
The process of replacing lost electrons is called reduction. Reduction involves the gain of electrons by an atom, ion, or molecule.
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
The gain of electrons by an element is called what?
The loss of an electron is called oxidation. Its opposite is reduction.The loss of an electron increases the charge by +1.
In order for an atom to become an ion it must due what?
An atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation.

When atoms gain or lose electrons they become negatively or positively charged They are known as?
When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become negatively charged if they gain electrons (anions) or positively charged if they lose electrons (cations). These charged atoms are known as ions.
What structure will atoms have after losing of gaining electrons?
If atoms lose electrons they will have a positively charged ion called a cation. If they gain electrons, they will have a negatively charged ion called an anion.
Does hydrogen gain or lose electrons?
Since hydrogen has one electron, it can either gain it or lose it to form cation or anion to achieve stable electronic configuration.COPIED DIRECTLY FROMWhy_does_hydrogen_lose_electronsBY ID2057450460
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
