What an atom that has gained or lost electrons causing an electric charge?

What is the charge on a single atom that has not gained or lost electrons?
Such an atom would be neutral - no electric charge.
Where is an electric charge found?
An electric charge is found on particles such as electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge, while protons carry a positive charge. Electric charges are also found in objects that have gained or lost electrons through processes like friction or induction.
When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
What is an excess of electric charge on a object?
An excess of electric charge on an object means that the object has gained or lost electrons, causing an imbalance between positive and negative charges. This imbalance results in the object having a net charge, which can lead to the object exhibiting electrical phenomena such as attracting or repelling other charged objects.
What is an atom that has an electric charge because it lost or gained electrons?
An atom that carries an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons is called an "ion". An atom that has gained one or more electrons, and has a negative electrical charge, is called an "anion". An atom that has lost one or more electrons, and has a positive electrical charge, is called a "cation". The term "ion" is used to refer to both cations and anions collectively or non-specifically.
Which carry an electric charge in solution?
Ions carry an electric charge in solution. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. This charge allows ions to conduct electricity in solution.
Charge of an atom that has gained electrons?
It is a negative charge
What is the charge on an atom that has gained 5 electrons?
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
What charge does an ion have?
An ion can have a positive charge (cation) if it has lost electrons, or a negative charge (anion) if it has gained electrons. The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost during the process of ionization.
What charge does an atom that has gained electrons?
Positive
What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons causing an elctric charge?
An ion. Eg Na atom loses one electron to become Na+
