Chemical Bonding

When an atom loses or gains an electron it becomes:

• an ion

• a kitten

• a radical

• a liberal

Answer explanation

When an atom loses or gains an electron, it becomes an ion. An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge.

Who give up their electrons easily?

• Losers

• Metals

• Non Metals

• Nobel gases

Answer explanation

Metals give up their electrons easily because they have low ionization energy and are located on the left side of the periodic table.
