Why are ions made?

Ions are made for clothes can not be wrinkly An ion is formed when an atom [or molecule] gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron it acquires negative charge. If the atom or molecule loses an electron it becomes positively charged.


When a molecule of nad plus gains a hydrogen atom to become nadh does the molecule become phosphorylated or oxidized or reduced or redoxed?

When a molecule of NAD+ gains a hydrogen atom to become NADH, the molecule is reduced. Reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule, which is what occurs in this process. This is part of a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction where one molecule is reduced (NAD+) and the other molecule is oxidized (loses electrons).


When a molecule gains electrons that molecule has been?

When a molecule gains electrons, it has been reduced. This process is part of a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction, where reduction refers to the gain of electrons, while oxidation refers to the loss of electrons. As a result of this gain, the molecule's oxidation state decreases, allowing it to become more negatively charged.


Is a molecule that has lost electrons been reduced?

OIL RIGOxidation Is Loss (of electrons)Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)So no, a molecule which has lost electrons has a positive charge and so has been oxidised


What happens to a molecule that gives up an electron?

when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.

When one molecule gains an electron from another the molecule that receives the electron has been?

The donor is the one who loses the electron. Donor is the elctron carrier.


When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been?

When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been ionized and oxidized.

What is the valency of chloride ion in chlorine molecule?

The valency of a chloride ion in a chlorine molecule is -1. Each chloride ion gains one electron to fill its outer shell and achieve a stable electron configuration.


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.


What particle gains energy gets excited?

An electron gains energy and becomes excited when it absorbs energy from photons or collides with other particles at high speeds. This excitation can result in the electron moving to a higher energy level within an atom or molecule.


What happens to a molecule when it is reduced?

A molecule is said to be reduced when one of its atoms gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, the net charge of the molecule is reduced when one of it's atoms acquires an electron.


What is the charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?

Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.

A molecule that gives up an elecron becomes?

Well if a atom loses or gains an electron it becomes an ion - a positively of negatively charged atom.


How is a negative ion is formed?

It gains one or more electrons.


An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?

an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
