What kind of ion does oxygen become when it combines with a metal?
Oxygen becomes a negatively charged ion, specifically the oxide ion, when it combines with a metal. The oxide ion has a charge of -2.
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.
Does Chlorine have a negative or positive charge?
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
When an atom gains an electron to be stable it becomes?
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
A positively charged ion will bond with?
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
When an element becomes an ion, it can either gain or lose electrons. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost.
What is the name of the negatively charge ion?
anion
A positivelycharged ion bonds with what type of charge?
A negatively charged ion.
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
The charge an object has when it has gained electrons?
electric charge
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
