A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?

Yes. A particle that loses an electron becomes an ion with a positive charge. A particle that gains an electron becomes an ion with a negative charge.

What happens if you add an electron to chlorine gas?

It becomes a negatively charged ion.


A negatively charged particle?

A negatively charged atom is called an electron.


What is a negatively charged subatomic particle'?

electronThe electron is a negatively charged particle.


When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?

No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.


When an atom gains or lose a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?

Ion.


Which particle has a negative charge the electron or the neutron?

Electrons are negatively charged, and so are some ions. It depends what ion you are talking about. All atoms start off neutral, because they have the same number of protons and electrons. When they become ions, they gain charge. For instance, a sodium chloride ion (NaCl) the metal ion, sodium, becomes positively charged because it loses one negatively charged particle (an electron). Chlorine then becomes negative, because it has gained a negatively charged electron. Hope this helps :)


What happens when chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy?

No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)
