When a atom gets a positive or negative charge which subatomic particle number has changed?
When an atom gains a positive charge, it loses an electron(s), resulting in more protons than electrons. When an atom gains a negative charge, it gains an electron(s), resulting in more electrons than protons.
What is atom that has gained an electron to form a charged particle?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged particle called an anion. This occurs when the atom gains an extra electron and now has more electrons than protons, giving it a net negative charge.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called what?
It becomes an ion. There are two types of ions- if it loses an electron, it gains a positive charge, becoming a "cation". If it gains an electron, it takes on a negative charge and becomes an "anion".
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
An atom that gains an electron becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. An atom that loses an electron becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
What happens when an atom gains an electron when it loses an electron?
It become an ion, positively charged when it loses an electron (called a cation, e.g. Na+) or negatively charged when it gains an electron (called a anion, e.g. Cl-).
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
When an atom gains or lose a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion.
When an Atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charge particle called a?
Ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
If a neutral atoms gains electron what type of particle is formed?
An electron has a negative charge, so if a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion. A negative ion is called an anion.
An atom that gains or loses an electron and is a charged particle?
ionic bond
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
An atom forms an ion when it gains or loses an electron. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
When a atom gets a positive or negative charge which subatomic particle number has changed?
When an atom gains a positive charge, it loses an electron(s), resulting in more protons than electrons. When an atom gains a negative charge, it gains an electron(s), resulting in more electrons than protons.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
When an atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle call a?
Ion.
