When am atom loses electron it becomes

Chemistry

It becomes an ion.

Orginally, the number of electrons of an atom should be same as the number of protons, and the atom should be electrically neutral, as each proton brings a positive charge and each electron brings a negative charge. However, when an atom loses or gains electrons, the charge would be positive or negative, depending on what the change is. In this way, the atom is no longer an atom, but an ion.

The number of electrons gained or lose by an atom depends on their group number in the periodic table. They'll gain or loose the least electrons in order to have an octet of electrons (or duplet). Which means, their outermost shell electrons would be 8, or 2 for the first shell.

One exam is fluorine. It is in the group VII, it has an outer most shell electron of 7. In order to make fluoride ion, one electron is gained, so that the outer most shell will have 8 electrons. Therefore, fluoride ion has a negative charge, as one electron brings a negative charge.

What determines the amount of chemical energy a substance has?
Ratling [72]


Chemical energy  is the kind of energy stored in the bonds formed by atoms and molecules in chemical compounds and elements.  This energy is  released during a chemical  reaction and  heat is often given out in the process. These kind of reactions where heat is given out as a by product are called exothermic reactions.

The major factor that determines how much chemical energy a substance has is the mass of that substance. Mass is defined as the amount of matter in a substance.

The higher  the mass of a substance, the more concentrated that substance is and subsequently the greater the number of atoms and molecules.

Logically, the higher the number of atoms and molecules  then the greater the number of bonds in that substance and subsequently the more the amount of chemical energy  stored therein.
