What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What happens to the atom that causes a neutral object to become charged?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes ionized and can create a charged object when it interacts with other atoms. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged, and if it gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged. This imbalance of electrons between atoms creates an electric charge on the object.
What is the only particle in a atom that is able to move from one atom to another?
Electrons can move from one atom to another during the formation of an ionic bond. In ionic bonding, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion.
What is an atom that gives up electrons?
A cation
What happens with the electrons when an atom froms a cation and an anion?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
What gives an atom the ability to react with another atom to form a compound?
its electrons
How does an atom becoming a negativity charged ion?
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.
What happens when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
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.
When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom they form a bond that is considered to be?
ionic
What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?
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.

What is an atom that gives up electrons?
A cation
What happens with the electrons when an atom froms a cation and an anion?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
What happens when you have 3 electrons in an atom?
You have Lithium.
