To form a positive ion an atom will give up an electron to gain stability?
If it will be more stable for the system, an atom will give up an electron. This would only happen if it led to a lower energy state for the system. An atom by itself would not give up an electron to form an ion, because it is more stable with all of its electrons.
Which type of atom becomes positive and why?
an atom becomes positive when that atom gives their electron to other atom....when the atom reacts it is called ion not atom... so that means that ion has charge of ion+..... atom has to give or take( in this case give) electron to make their outer most shell full
Is the electron configuration of an atom related to its tendency to give up or gain electrons during a chemical reaction?
tangina nyo
What takes up most of the space of the atom?
The electron cloud or electron shell
A proton neutron and electron are in the nucleus of an atom?
yes they are what makes up the atom
Will Sodium give up electrons to other atoms?
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.

Is an atom made up of only one atom?
atom is made up of subatomic particles:proton,electron and neutron.
You can see an atom with?
No device can give the complete structure of an atom but you can get a minute idea about the look of an atom using an Electron Microscope!

What is gained or lost in an atom to give it an electrical charge?
Electron(s).
If an atom has one valence electron what will it form?
Since the element has only one valence electron, it will be very easy for it to lose it and form an ionic bond.
When an atom gives up an electron what is formed?
ions
When one atom gives up an electron to another atom it forms a(n) what?
When one atom gives up an electron to another atom, it forms an ionic bond. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions results in the formation of an ionic compound.
