It must take electrons from either another atom or be ionized. If it takes electrons from another atom then it has more electrons than protons, which gives it a negative charge.
What else can I help you with?
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
What happens when a atom gains an electron?
When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion. This process is known as reduction, and it can change the chemical properties of the atom by affecting its reactivity and ability to form bonds.
What is a positively or negativity charged atoms?
An ion is both positively and negatively charged.
What is a charged atom?
A charged atom is an ion. A positively charged version is a cation and a negatively charged one, an anion.
What a ion?
An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.
A charged atom is?
A charged atom is an ion. An atom that has lost one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. An atom that has gained one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When a atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an?
ION A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION NB When an atom becomes a charged species it is no longer an atom, but an ION . An atom has a neutral charge.
What is the wavelength of the gold ion?
Different frequencies in wavelengths are radiation, microwaves, radio waves, gamma rays. An ion is the charge an atom has, either cations (when an atom loses an electron and becomes positively charged) or anions (when an atom gains an electron becoming negatively charged).
What is an atom or group of atoms what has become electrically charged?
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
What is atom charging?
A charged atom is a Ion.
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 ( - )
