How does an atom becomes Negatively charged?
An atom becomes negatively charged when it receives an electron from another atom. In other words, if there are more electrons than protons in an atom, it becomes negatively charged.
What happens when an atom has an extra electron?
It becomes a negatively charged ion.
When an electron is transferred from the sodium Atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
they form an ionic bond (:
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it is?
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
What happens when an bromine atom gains an electorn?
When a bromine atom gains an electron, it becomes a bromide ion with a charge of -1. This extra electron fills the outer electron shell of the bromine atom, giving it a full set of electrons and making it stable.
What particle has to be removed from an atom so the atom becomes positive?
An atom becomes positive when it loses an electron, as electrons are negatively charged particles. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.
A fluorine atom wear to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become what charged?
When a fluorine atom attracts an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom loses one electron and becomes positively charged, forming a lithium ion (Li⁺). Meanwhile, the fluorine atom gains the extra electron, becoming negatively charged and forming a fluoride ion (F⁻). This transfer of electrons results in the formation of an ionic bond between the two ions.
How chlorine atom does become an anion?
A chlorine atom becomes an anion by gaining one electron to achieve a more stable electron configuration with a full outer shell. This extra electron gives the chlorine atom a negative charge, making it an anion.
When the atom becomes an anion what happens to its radius?
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
What is it when you add or subtract an electron to an atom?
When you add an electron to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. When you subtract an electron from an atom, the atom becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
What is An atom with one extra electron or one missing electron called?
An atom with one extra electron is called an anion, while an atom with one missing electron is called a cation.
When an atom gains an electron the atom becomes an ion that?
yes...on gaining an electron, the atom becomes an anion i.e. negatively charged ion.
