[DOC] [TLE] Q: What does an atom become when it gains or loses an electron? [PAR] When an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes an ion. Ions formed by the 
loss of an electron have a positive charge, and those ... A: Electron affinity is 
defined as the amount of energy emitted when an electron is added to a neutral 
atom in the ... An ion consisting of more than one atom is called a polyatomic ion. [DOC] [TLE] What do you call atoms that have gained or lost electrons ... [PAR] Through the gain or loss of electrons, atoms are no longer neutral. Continue 
Reading ... Atoms losing electrons become positively charged. ... These ions are 
formed when electrons are transferr. ... Ions consist of one or more atoms that 
have gained or lost electrons. ... How many valence electrons does zirconium 
have? Q:... [DOC] [TLE] If they LOSE an electron, why is it PLUS? If ... | Khan Academy [PAR] In neutral state the atom got an equal number of protons (+) and electrons (-). ... 
Every charge (positive or negative )that loses an electron becomes more .... Well 
these are because when they lose an electron, oxidation reaction takes place, 
where ... to gain one hydrogen atom that means +1 and when they gain an 
electron... [DOC] [TLE] Ions and Ionic Bonds - Boundless [PAR] Predict whether a given element will more likely form a cation or an anion. Key 
Points. Ions form from elements when they gain or lose an electron causing the 
number of ... If there are more electrons than protons (from an element gaining 
one or ... An atom, or group of atoms, bearing an electrical charge, such as the 
sodium... [DOC] [TLE] Electric Charge in the Atom - Boundless [PAR] If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation ... 
Of these three subatomic particle types, two (protons and electrons) carry a ... 
However, because electrons can be transferred from one atom to another, it is 
possible for atoms to become ... If a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes 
negative. [DOC] [TLE] Why Is An Atom Electrically Neutral - UCSB Science Line [PAR] Overall, NaCl is a neutral system (table salt doesn't shock you when you eat it... 
hopefully). This property of ... But do these particles have to just balance each out
? You can ... If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion. [DOC] [TLE] How it works - Ions and Ionization - Cations, Anions, Elements and ... [PAR] When it becomes an ion, it loses 3 electrons, leaving behind only 10. ... these will 
be applied interchangeably throughout the course of this essay. When a neutral 
atom loses one or more electrons, the result is a positively charged ion, ... When 
a neutrally charged atom gains electrons, acquiring a negative charge as a result
,... [DOC] [TLE] Ions | CHEM 101 [PAR] It is possible for a neutral atom to lose or gain one or more electrons. In this case, 
the atom becomes charged and is called an ion. ... Therefore, the charge on the 
cation for these metals corresponds to their group number on the periodic table. [DOC] [TLE] Ion - Wikipedia [PAR] An ion is an atom or a molecule in which the total number of electrons is not 
equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom or molecule a net positive or 
negative electrical charge. Ions can be created, by either chemical or physical 
means, via ionization. ... In chemical terms, if a neutral atom loses one or more 
electrons, it has a net... [DOC] [TLE] Periodic Trends [PAR] These trends can be predicted based on the periods and groups the ... so its 
farthest out electron is in the third energy level, making it one orbit bigger. ... 
Compared to the neutral atomic radius from above, we find the atom has shrunk. 
... The atom has lost an electron to become positive, therefore it should be 
smaller. [DOC] [TLE] BBC - GCSE Bitesize
