When an atom bonds the atom joins a 2nd atom to become a what?
a compound.
What is the rule if a metal and non metal are combined?
When a metal and a non-metal combine, they form an ionic compound. The metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged ion (cation), while the non-metal atom gains electrons to become a negatively charged ion (anion). These oppositely charged ions attract each other through electrostatic forces to form an ionic bond.
Compounds containing metals and non metals are?
Compounds containing metals and nonmetals are called ionic compounds. In these compounds, the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to become a negatively charged anion. The resulting electrostatic attraction between the cation and anion holds the compound together.
If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
What happens when an atom loses one or more electrons and retains the same number of protons?
This atom become a positive ion (cation).
Is srno3 ionic?
Yes, Sr(NO3)2 is an ionic compound. Strontium (Sr) is a metal and nitrate (NO3) is a polyatomic ion. When they combine, the Sr atom loses electrons to become a cation and the NO3 ion gains electrons to become an anion, resulting in an ionic bond between them.
Is an atom of potassium most likely to become a cation or an anion?
An atom of potassium is most likely to become a cation. Potassium tends to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a positively charged ion.
When an atom loses an electron become a?
It becomes a cation.
What kind of charge does an atom have after losing an electron?
This atom become a cation (positive).
When an atoms loses an electron it?
The atom is said to be ionized. (It can also be said to be oxidised.)
An atom that gives up electrons becomes an?
This atom become a cation (positive charge).
What happens when a neutral atom becomes positive?
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
An atom that has lost two electrons is called?
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
What type of atom will get a positive charge and become a cation?
metal atoms
What is an atom that donates an electron called?
A substance that can donate a lone pair of electrons is called a Lewis base. The definition of a Lewis base is a compound or ionic species that can donate an electron pair to an acceptor compound.
What compound is formed between metallic and nonmetallic atoms?
An ionic compound is formed between metallic and nonmetallic atoms, where the metallic atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, and the nonmetallic atom gains these electrons to become a negatively charged anion. This electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of the ionic compound.
When an atom bonds the atom joins a 2nd atom to become a what?
a compound.
