When a beta particle is released from an atom does the atom gain or lose mass?
The atom loses mass when a beta particle is released because a neutron decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino. The mass of the neutron is greater than the combined mass of the resulting proton, electron, and antineutrino.
How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
Can an atom gain or lose protons why or why not?
No, an atom cannot gain or lose protons. Protons are the positively charged particles within the nucleus of an atom, and changing the number of protons would change the atom's identity. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons, which affects their charge but not their identity.
How does an ion become a cation?
any atom lose one electron or more become positive ion ( Cation ) Dont really get your question:( BY definition, an atom that has lost or gained an electron meaning its a charged particle. A cation is an atom that has lost electrons to form a positively charged atom meaning that a cation is an ion. However, an anion also falls under the definition of an ion ( An anion is an atom that has gained an electron to form a negatively charged particle) In that case, it will need to lose electrons to form a cation(positively charged particle.) Not sure if you are referring to that though hope that helps:DD
Does an ion of an element lose or gain protons to become a charged particle?
No, it becomes a new element.When a particle loses an electron it becomes an ion.
When a beta particle is released from an atom does the atom gain or lose mass?
The atom loses mass when a beta particle is released because a neutron decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino. The mass of the neutron is greater than the combined mass of the resulting proton, electron, and antineutrino.
What is the particle that an antom can loose or gain in order to form into a charged iron?
Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons it becomes a particle called an?
An Ion. An atom that loses electrons to become positively charged is a CATION. An atom that gains electrons to become negatively charged is an ANION. One there is an imbalanbced of electrons to protons, then it is is no longer and atom but an ion. An ATOM is a neutrally charged species An ION is a positively/negatively charged species.
Atom that loses electons is a ion?
Well im not great at science but i know that a atom which gains or loses an electron will gain a negitive/positive charge and become an ion
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
When an atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle call a?
Ion.

Would atom with an atomic number of 3 lose or gain electrons?
Lithium loses electrons.
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
