When a neutral atom loses an electron what happens to its size?
When a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion. The loss of an electron reduces the electron-electron repulsion, causing the remaining electrons to be more strongly attracted to the nucleus. This contraction in electron cloud typically results in a smaller ionic size compared to the neutral atom.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
When an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons. The atom that gains the electron becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. This transfer of electrons creates ions that may attract or repel each other depending on their charges.
What do you call the energy involved when an atom loses an electron?
The amount of energy required to remove an electron form an at is the ionization energy.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
When an atom loses an electron to another atom, it forms a positively charged ion. This ion is called a cation because it has more protons than electrons. The loss of an electron results in an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the formation of the cation.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
What happens to an atom when it looses and electron?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and has a positive charge.
What do you think happens to the size of the electron when it loses and electron?
The ATOM decreases in size when it loses an electron and increases when electrons are added.
What happens if atom loses electron?
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
What happens when an loses an electron?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). it becomes a positive ion
What happens when an atom loses an electron form its outermost shell?
It becomes a positive ion, and also connects with the atom that stoles its electron.
What happens to a hydrogen atom to make it become a H plus?
It loses an electron
'When an atom loses an electron what does it become?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
What happens when an atom loses an electron in its outer most shell?
it becomes a positive ion
What happens when an atom loses a electron from its outermost shell?
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy?
It becomes a positive ion.
When atom loses energy what happens to electron?
when an atom loses an energy , it loses a electron, so what exactly happens to an electron. when you are looking at the periodic tabel they are numbered in groups called group family 1-18 .for an example for what happens to an atom when it losses an electron .when a electron has a nuber lower that 4 it wants to reach at 0 electrtons and when a atom has higher than 6 elctrons it wants to reach at 8 elcrtons . when a atom losses a electron it gives it to another atom that has lower than 4 electrons who is trying to reach at 8
When a atom loses a electron What is the atoms charge?
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positively charged ion.
