What does chlorine become when it gains one valence electron?
A negatively charged "ion".
What is composed of charged particles?
A compound composed of charged particles is called an ionic compound. An atom that has become electrically charged is called an ion.
If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
Why are ion charged particles and thus no longer neutral?
the positive and negative energy is no longer in balance causing the atom to become an ion+ or an ion-
Is an ion is a charged particle?
yes. negatively charged ion is called cation and where as a positively charged ion is anion.
What is the name given to an atom that has become charged?
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )

When an atom gains an electron to be stable it becomes?
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
When an electron is gained the atom become an?
It becomes a negatively charged ion.
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron it becomes an ion with a charge of negative one. This charge comes from the electron's negativity, which changes the atom's balanced ratio of electrons to protons.
