Poker.

^ Poker? i don't think elements have much interest in card games.. atoms lose neutrons due to radioactive decay, these atoms exist as different isotopes of the same element. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 both exist as the same element (atomic number 6), but with different Atomic Mass and number of neutrons.

Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?

Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.


Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?

No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.


When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?

When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.


Atoms gain or lose?

they can do both


What cannot change in an atom is it protons neutrons or electrons?

An atoms protons cannot change.The number of neutrons can change (gain or lose) to form an isotope (ex. Hydrogen naturally has no neutrons. But it can gain neutrons to form Heavy Hydrogen, or in other words, a Hydrogen Isotope).An atom can gain or lose electrons to form an ion. Usually an atom will gain or lose electrons to fill its valence (outermost) shell. It takes just as much energy to gain an electron as it is to lose one, so an atom will always look to lose or gain the least amount of electrons possible. (ex. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. It will look to gain 2 electrons, rather than lose 6).Protons: DO NOT CHANGENeutrons: Can change to form an isotopeElectrons: Can change to form an ion


Do atoms of group 2 lose or gain?

They try to lose usually.


What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?

When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.

What is a reason for atoms to not gain lose or share electrons?

This depends on the electronegativity of atoms.


When atoms lose or gain electrons they are called what?

ion


When atoms combine what do they gain or lose?

When atoms combine to form molecules, they can gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. This process allows atoms to fill their outermost electron shell and attain a more stable, lower energy state.


When chemical reactions occur are atoms never ionized rearranged destroyed or vaporized?

Atoms can be ionized in chemical reactions when they gain or lose electrons. In some reactions, atoms may rearrange into different molecules or compounds. However, atoms are not destroyed or vaporized during chemical reactions; they are simply rearranged into different combinations.
