When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?
Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
Is a positive ion an atom that has gained an electron?
No, an electron has a negative charge. Therefore, if an originally neutral atom gains an electron, it will have a negative charge.
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
A positive ion can become a neutral atom by gaining electrons. When a positive ion gains one or more electrons, it becomes neutral because the negative charge of the electron(s) cancels out the positive charge of the ion.
What is the loss or gain of an electron?
electrons... and thus one unit of negative charge....
Will an object become positivley or negatively charged if it gains electrons?
An atom will become Negative if it gains an electron and it will be an Anion.If it loses an electron it will be Positive and it will be a CationLearn & Enjoy
What is the gain or loss of electrons?
An electron has a negative charge. If an atom loses an electron it creates an ion with a positive charge. If an atom gains an electron it creates an ion with a negative charge.
A material has a net charge because it?
A net charge results when an atom gains or loses electrons. If it loses electrons, it gains a positive charge, if it gains them, it gains a net negative charge.
When a atom has a positive or negative charge beause it lost or gained an electron is a?
An atom has a postitive charge when it loses an electron and a negative when it gains one. It then becomes an ion through this process.
Does bromine have a positive or negative charge?
It has a negative charge, as it is located on the left side of "the staircase" on the periodic table.
Is an atom positive when it loses an electron from the outermost shell?
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
What happens to the charge plus or - of an atom when it gains electron?
An electron has a negative charge of 1.6E-19 Coulombs. This will subtract from the net charge of an atom, so the net charge will be less, assuming that a negative charge is less than a positive charge.
Are atoms positive or negative?
Yes. It has both.The definition of "neutral" is zero net charge. Every atom has positive and negative charges among its components. If the atom is 'neutral', then the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal, and the atom's 'net' charge is zero.
