I believe you mean an ion, which is an atom or a group of atoms that has acquired a net electric charge by gaining or losing one or more electrons. atoms that lose electrons are metals that become positively charged cations. atoms that gain electrons are non-metals that become negatively charged anions.
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three particles that make up an atom. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels.
The smallest unit of matter is an atom, which is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are made up of quarks, while electrons are thought to be fundamental particles.
An atom consists of a central nucleus made up of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while the electrons orbit around it in specific energy levels or shells. The nucleus makes up the majority of the atom's mass, while the electrons determine its chemical properties.
The nucleus is primarily made up of protons and neutrons, which are tightly packed together in the center of an atom. The nucleus also contains other subatomic particles like electrons moving around it in specific energy levels.
The smallest part of non-living things is typically an atom, which is the basic unit of matter. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The atom's electrons.
The electrons in the atom.
Most of the volume of an atom is taken up by the electron cloud, which consists of electrons moving around the nucleus. The nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, is extremely small compared to the overall size of the atom.
In the atom which will form the positive ion, the valence electrons is/are being given up and lost to the reaction medium (environment). In the atom which will form the negative ion, the valence electrons lingering in the reaction medium will be attracted to the proton of the negative ion and is taken in by the negative ion.
Atoms that have lost or gained one or more electrons are called ions.An atom that has gained and electron is an anion; and atom that has lost an electron is a cation. Gaining an electron means the anion has a negative charge; losing one or more electrons means the atom has a positive charge.
The thing that takes up the most space of an atom at about 99.99% of the size of the atom is empty space. The majority of the remaining 0.01% is found in the nucleus and about 0.00001% of the atom is taken by the electrons.
The nucleus. The nucleus contains both of the protons and neutrons of an atom, and make up more than 99% of the atoms matter and weight. If size is talking about measurements of width and space taken up, the outer ring of the atom, the electrons, span out away from the nucleus, orbiting it in an elliptical shape. The electrons of an atom are not physically attached to the atom, and can be arguably not part of the specific atom because the electrons can become intertwined with other atoms' electrons.
In simple terms, an atom is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons have positive charge (+1), Neutrons have no charge (0), and Electrons have negative charge (-1). If an atom gains or loses Electrons, it's net charge changes. To result in a negative charge, the atom must have more Electrons than Protons.

How many electrons are taken up by an oxidant in the 1st halfreaction (oxidant reaction),and how many electrons are given free by a reductant in the 2st halfreaction (reductant reaction)
