The process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable is called ionization.
In forming compounds, atoms are engaged in either gaining or losing electrons. They may also share electrons, but that is also a form of gaining or losing electrons.
An atom becomes positively charged by losing electrons, which results in an excess of protons. Conversely, an atom becomes negatively charged by gaining electrons, which creates an excess of electrons relative to protons. This imbalance of protons and electrons creates an electric charge on the atom.
Atoms can become ions, by either gaining or losing one or more electrons in a process of chemical bonding, and similarly, ions can become atoms again by regaining or getting rid of the electron or electrons that they previously gained or lost; in such a case the atom can be described as a former ion.
An item becomes positively or negatively charged through losing/gaining electrons. As electrons are lost the item becomes positive, and as electrons are gained the item becomes negative. (Electrons are negative charges and protons are positive charges.) An item cannot lose protons, as protons are fixed. Gaining/losing electrons can be gained by charging by friction, contact, or induction (through the air).
metallic bond
An atom can become an ion by losing electrons. It can accomplish the same thing by gaining electrons.
by gaining or losing electrons.
An atom can become positively charged by losing an electron, resulting in more protons than electrons. Conversely, an atom can become negatively charged by gaining an electron, which creates an excess of electrons compared to protons.
by losing or gaining electrons to become stable
They are called ions
yes it does :D
The process of losing or gaining electrons is called oxidation or reduction, respectively. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons, while reduction involves the gain of electrons. These two processes occur simultaneously in a redox reaction.
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
After losing or gaining electrons, atoms will form ions. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, while if it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion. This process results in the formation of stable electronic configurations.
Some elements become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. When an element gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while losing electrons results in a positive ion (cation). This process allows the element to achieve a full outer electron shell and become more stable.
electrons
A body can become charged either by gaining or losing electrons. When electrons are transferred between objects, one object becomes positively charged (losing electrons) and the other becomes negatively charged (gaining electrons). This charge separation creates an electric field around the objects.
