The atom becomes a negative ion.
The energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons is called the
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
A type of bond in which one atom gains electrons and one atom loses electrons is an ionic bond.
The atom will turn into an ion, specifically, a cation.
This atom become an anion.
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
When an atom gains electrons, negatively charged anions are formed. When an atom loses electrons, positively charged cations are formed.
The valence electrons occur in what part of the atom?
cell
electrons. Ions exist when an atom gains or loses electrons
An atom gains a net charge by losing or gaining one or more electrons. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a positively charged ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it will become a negatively charged ion.
