What else can I help you with?
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
When a neutral atom gains electrons it is then?
This atom become an anion.
If an atom has four valence electrons is it an anion?
No, having four valence electrons does not determine whether an atom is an anion. An anion is formed when an atom gains electrons to have a negative charge. If the atom with four valence electrons gains four more electrons, it would become an anion.
What does nonmetal atom need to do in order to become an anion?
This atom gains electrons.
If a neutral atom gains or loses electrons it acquires a charge and becomes an?
This neutral atom become a cation or an anion.
What happens with the electrons when an atom froms a cation and an anion?
A cation is an atom that has lost one or more electrons. An anion is an atom that has gained one or more electrons.
What describes what happens when an atom becomes an ion with a two negative charge?
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
What is an atom which has gained electrons?
anion
What is the name given to an atom that gains electrons?
It is an ION Answer: Yes it is an Ion, but no, it is formally called an Anion. Because it gained an electron it has become negatively charged. If it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons it becomes a particle called an?
An Ion. An atom that loses electrons to become positively charged is a CATION. An atom that gains electrons to become negatively charged is an ANION. One there is an imbalanbced of electrons to protons, then it is is no longer and atom but an ion. An ATOM is a neutrally charged species An ION is a positively/negatively charged species.
Why is the radius of anion more than the corresponding atom?
An anion has more electrons than a neutral atom.
How does a atom become an cation or an anion?
an atom becomes a cation when the atom loses electrons during a reaction, and it becomes an anion when the atom gains electrons in a reaction it accepts an additional electron.
