If there's a charge on the original molecular formula like negative one does it always go to the central atom when making a Lewis structure giving it an extra electron?

Is burn a chemical property?
yes because you are changing the molecular structure of the object. if it cannot return to its original state it is a chemical property.
What is the charge of an atom that gains an electron?
since electrons are negative, you would subtract one from the original charge of the atom. For example, is the atom was neutral, the charge would then be 1-
When an atom loses or gains an electron?
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes an anion, which is negative. Anions are larger than the original atom because of the added electrons. N + electron(-) --> N(-) If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and positively charged. Cations are smaller than the original atom because of the lost electrons. N(2+) = cation

What happens when an atom loses or gains electrons?
it becomes a charged ion loose = positive gain= negative
What is electron found in?
Strings?> Original Answer by Special:Contributions:The question implies that the electron can be subdivided into smaller particles. The Standard Model of physics commonly accepted today however only admits that the electron consists of negative charge. This can be part of the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus or as free electrons propagating in space.
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
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.
Why the shape of NH2 is bent?
Because there are 2 bonded and 2 unbonded electron domains. since there are 4 electron domains, its original form would be a tetrahedral. however, for the molecular, you must remove to two unbonded domains, leaving the two domains as far apart from each other as possible
When electron transfer results in an ion larger than the original atom?
An atom that has gained one or more electrons, becoming a negative ion, is larger than its parent atom.
Resonance structure for peroxynitrite ion ONOO?
From the 1O=N_2O_3O- the 3O- can "attack" the N and push the 1O's second bond off the N to form O3N- and from there, any one of the O's is equally likely to put its extra electron pair into a double bond with N, while the negative charge goes back to one of the other two O's which simultaneously attaches to the other and releases the N, forming the original structure. This is possible in part because the extra electron on N in O3N- pushes the O's tightly together.
What is the negative of negative integer?
The negative of a negative is always the original number.
