What else can I help you with?
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
What is the charge on an atom in its natural stare?
Atoms by definition are neutral. Once they gain or lose electrons and acquire a charge, they are called ions.
What do atoms do that alters there overall neutral charge?
Atoms either gain or lose electrons to change their overall neutral charge.
What is it called when gain of electrons or H?
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
What is A charged atom is called a(n)?
A charged atom is called an ion. Ions can be positively charged, known as cations, when they lose electrons, or negatively charged, known as anions, when they gain electrons. This charge imbalance is what distinguishes ions from neutral atoms.
When atoms gain or lose electrons the charged particles that result are called molecules?
Atoms that gain or lose electrons become ions, not molecules. Ions are charged particles due to an imbalance of protons and electrons. Molecules are formed when atoms are bonded together by sharing electrons.
Is nitrogen neutral gas?
Nitrogen gas does not gain or remove electrons. Therefor this gas is neutral.
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
When an atom is charged it is called an ion how many electrons are in oxygen?
A neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons. When oxygen becomes an ion, it can gain 2 electrons to become O2-, losing the neutral 8 electrons to become a total of 10 electrons in the ion.
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if it has?
A full outer electron shell. Atoms tend to be more stable when they have a full valence shell, which typically contains eight electrons. This stability makes it less likely for the atom to either lose or gain electrons.
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object, electrons transfer from the negatively charged object to the neutral object, causing the neutral object to gain electrons. This results in the neutral object becoming negatively charged.
What is the charge on an atom in its natural stare?
Atoms by definition are neutral. Once they gain or lose electrons and acquire a charge, they are called ions.
What is the loss and gain of electrons to form ions?
An electron or electrons is/are lost or gained to produce an ion. An atom with the same number of electrons as protons is a neutral atom. If the proton count and electron count do not match, that atom is electrically "imbalanced" and is an ion.
When atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons they can be best described as what?
When atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons, they are best described as becoming ions. Ions are charged particles that are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
What do atoms do that alters there overall neutral charge?
Atoms either gain or lose electrons to change their overall neutral charge.
When neutralization molecules gain or lose electrons the process is known as?
Ionization
What is it called when gain of electrons or H?
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
