When an electron is added to an atom, its size increases due to increase in repulsions between the electrons.

What sub atomic particle is respnsible for creating an ion?
It is an electron. Formation of cation and anion depends upon loosing and gaining of electrons respectively.
How is the size of an anion different from the size of the atom from which it was formed?
Anion will have more electron than which atom it was form. So, after forming the the atom will have more electron cloud and size will be smaller compare to the original one.
What do non-metals become after it accepts an electron?
anion
What ion is formed when an atom accept electron?
Anion
When an atom gains an electron it?
becomes an anion. Negatively charged.
What type of charged particle is formed when an electron is added to an atom?
anion
When an electron atom is added to a neutral atom energy is?
It becomes an anion.
What happens to an element if an electron is added?
it becomes an ion. an ion of any element has the same number of protons but different number of electrons. an ion can be of two types. cation and anion. cation is positive i.e. one less electron and an anion is negative, i.e. one more electron. so that's the answer to your original question. if an electron is added, the atom of the element becomes negatively charged.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
What is needed to form a negative ion?
An electron is added in an atom to form a negative ion or anion. Because electron carry negative charge.
How is the electron configuration for both a cation and a anion differ from its neutral atom?
Let us assume that we have Sodium (Na), it has the ground state electron configuration of: [Ne]3S1. The ANION is negative, and thereby has more electrons, the Na anion(Na.) would have the following electron configuration: [Ne]3S2. The CATION(which is a positive ion) of Na(Na+) would have [Ne] as it electron configuration(as it loses an electron and becomes "equal" to Neon)
Which term describes the particle that results when an electron is added to an atom?
It depends. If you are talking about electron capture at the molecular level, then when a neutral atom (or molecule) absorbs a negatively charged electron, it becomes negatively charged. All charged atoms (or molecules) are called ions, and a negatively charged ion is called an anion. . If, on the other hand, you are talking about electron capture by the nucleus of an atom, then when a positively charged proton absorbs a negatively charged electron, the proton converts into a neutrally charged neutron and immediately emits a neutrally charged electron neutrino.
Why anion formation is exothermic?
During the Formation of postitve ion we have to break the force attraction between nuecleus and electron. while doing so energy is absorbed and process become endothermic.

It is an electron. Formation of cation and anion depends upon loosing and gaining of electrons respectively.
What is the difference between the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion?
positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron
Where in the periodic table is the smallest anionic radius found?
The smallest element is hydrogen (atomic number = 1). When one electron is added to hydrogen, hydride ion is formed and this is the anion with smallest ionic radius.
