What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
What happens when an element gains electrons?
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
In a ionic compound one or more atoms lose electrons and one or more electrons gains electrons?
yes
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons?
Isotope
If an atom has six or seven valence electrons it is more stable if it electrons to fill the octet becoming a ion?
Gains, Positive

The charge an object has when it gained electrons is it a positive charge?
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
An object becomes positively charged if it?
Its number of Protons is more than Electrons
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
What will cause a change in mass of an object?
Mass can only be changed if a something loses or gains a bit more stuff, the object has to get bigger or smaller.
In a ionic compound one or more atoms lose electrons and one or more electrons gains electrons?
yes
How does an ion to be negative?
It gains one or more electrons
What more easily an atom gains an electron what does it release more of?
Electrons
What happens in a reduction?
An element gains one or more electrons
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons?
Isotope
How is a negative ion is formed?
It gains one or more electrons.
