Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged.
Positively charged
If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.
The lithium atom, which has lost an electron to become positively charged, will be attracted to the chlorine atom, which has gained an electron to become negatively charged. They may form an ionic bond by transferring electrons from lithium to chlorine, creating lithium chloride.
In a reaction with chlorine, a lithium atom will lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Once it loses an electron, it becomes a lithium cation, which has a charge of +1.
The chlorine atom would become a negatively charged chlorine anion because it has an extra electron, and the lithium atom would become a positively charged cation because it has lost one electron.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.
THe lithoium atom has IONISED ( lost) an electron, to become the lithium ION.
positively
positively
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium, the lithium atom would become a positive charge. This is because it would lose an electron, leaving it with a net positive charge due to the loss of a negatively charged electron.
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
Sodium loses one electron to become a positively charged ion, while chlorine gains one electron to become a negatively charged ion. These oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other through electrostatic forces to form an ionic bond, resulting in the compound sodium chloride (table salt).
Yes, if a chlorine atom attracts an electron from sodium, the chlorine atom would gain an extra electron and become negatively charged, forming a chloride ion (Cl-). Sodium, on the other hand, would lose an electron and become positively charged, forming a sodium ion (Na+).
A chlorine atom needs one additional electron in order to become stable.
