Cations are formed when neutral atoms lose?
Cations are formed when neutral atoms lose electrons, leading to a positive charge. This loss of electrons results in a higher number of protons compared to electrons in the atom, creating an overall positive charge.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
What is a substance that has lost or gained electrons?
Most atoms have the ability to lose electrons, given the conditions are favorable, e.g. in a chemical reaction, but the ones that loose their electrons easiest are the ones with only a few electrons in their outer shell, such as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals which only have 1 and two electrons, respectively.
What happens when atoms gain loose or share electrons?
When atoms gain, lose, or share electrons, they form chemical bonds, leading to the creation of ions or molecules. Gaining or losing electrons results in the formation of ions: atoms that are positively charged (cations) when they lose electrons, or negatively charged (anions) when they gain electrons. Sharing electrons typically occurs in covalent bonds, where two or more atoms form a stable molecule by overlapping their electron clouds. These interactions are fundamental to the formation of compounds and the chemical behavior of substances.
Atoms are split to produce .?
other atoms, some loose protons, electrons, and neutrons (which get attached to other atoms and change them) and energy.

When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.

What are formed when elements gain or loose electrons?
ions
What will happen to the atoms and molecules of a substance when it undergoes a chemical reaction?
During a chemical reaction, atoms in the molecules rearrange to form new substances with different chemical properties. Bonds between atoms are broken and new bonds are formed, resulting in the creation of new molecules. Mass is conserved in a chemical reaction, meaning the total number of atoms remains the same before and after the reaction.

other atoms, some loose protons, electrons, and neutrons (which get attached to other atoms and change them) and energy.
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
What is a chemical bond where atoms either gain or loose electrons?
ionic bonding :]
What are the electrons that have high energy levels and are loose in an atom?
conduction band electrons detach themselves from atoms and become delocalized
When atoms become ions their outer most shells of electrons become?
they add or loose electrons from the outer most shells
What are the two basic ways in which ions form from atoms?
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. An atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion known as a cation, while an atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion known as an anion.
