Why atom gain electron?
Yea.
What atom tends to gain one electron when it combines with another atom?
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
Does high value of electron affinity for an atom means that it will gain electron easily?
Yes, that is part of the definition of electron affinity.
Why does a chlorine atom gain an electron when it forms an ion?
Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom.
If an atom loses or gains an electron?
Atoms with high electronegativity will want to GAIN electrons. The goal is to be like the noble gases. So an atom of Fluorine, the most electronegative, will want to gain an electron in order to fill its shell and be like Neon.
Why some atom lose electron and some gain electron?
Atom lose electron to form positive ion and some gain electron to form negative ion.
Why atom gain electron?
Yea.
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
What atom tends to gain one electron when it combines with another atom?
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron in contact with an atom that has gain an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
To become a negative ion does an atom lose or gain electron?
The atom needs to gain an electron so it has more than the protons Hope I helped
How atoms gain electron?
when an any atoms want to achieved a state of nearest an inert atom, its gain electron
What an atom has to do to become an ion?
Lose or gain an electron
Does a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom both gain electron?
No. A metallic atom will typically lose electrons.
When potassium forms a compound with iodine one electron is transferred from the atom to the atom?
Potassium lose an electron (iodine gain this electron) to form potassium iodide, KI.
Why does an atom have charge?
The atom may gain or lose an electron either making it positive or negative.
What happens when chlorine atoms gain an electron in its outer energy shell?
what happen when an atom what has a lot of electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron
