What is the charge on atom if it gains electrons?
Depends on how many electrons it gains. For every electron it gains, the atom becomes more negative. One electron gives it a -1 charge, 2 a -2 charge and so on
If an atom gains an electron it will become?
It depends on the way the electron is used. If the atom "uses" it by giving it away to some other atom or molecule, it becomes a positively charged cation. If it instead uses it by taking it into its own structure, it becomes a negatively charged anion.
What is the results of losing electrons?
when a neutral atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. it now has a stable outer most shell.
How many protons and electrons is in ion?
An ion is defined as an element with a charge. Because elements vary with how many protons they have (along with neutrons to form isotopes) it is impossible to put a set number on how many protons and electrons all ions have. An element (or compound) becomes an ion when the substance gains (to become a positive ion) or loses (to become a negative ion) an electron(s).
Strip electrons from an atom and the atom becomes a?
Positive ion
A molecule that gives up an electron becomes what?
Oxidized.Oxidation involves a loss of electrons.The answer above in a general context is wrong I'm afraid - If an atom loses an electron it becomes an ion and the same if it gains one - and electrically charged particle.
When the energy of sunlight moves to a chlorophyll molecule in a reaction center how does this impact an electron?
Electrons absorb the energy. Then it becomes exited
What happens to a molecule when it is reduced?
A molecule is said to be reduced when one of its atoms gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, the net charge of the molecule is reduced when one of it's atoms acquires an electron.
Why are ions made?
Ions are made for clothes can not be wrinkly An ion is formed when an atom [or molecule] gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron it acquires negative charge. If the atom or molecule loses an electron it becomes positively charged.
When the proton number and electron number are unequal the atom or molecule what?
has a charge which can be positive (excess protons) or negative (excess electrons). ... becomes an ion - positive ion if deficient in electrons, negative with an excess of electrons.
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons?
An oxygen atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes an ion because it wants a full valence shell (as in, its outer energy level is trying to reach 8 electrons).
What happens to a molecule that gives up an electron?
when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.
Ask us anythingAn ion is formed when an atom .?
An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses an electrons or electrons. If it gains an electron, it becomes an anion, and if it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
Loss of electrons from a molecule is called?
Ionization, it becomes a cation
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
An object becomes positively charged if it?
Its number of Protons is more than Electrons
