When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.
The energy releases (exothermic process) known as the Electron affinity.
electron affinity
Yes. Electron affinity is the process by which a neutral atom gains an electron and the EA is the measure of energy released. The resulting ion will be negative.
the atom gains or loses energy
The energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons is called the
if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
Drops to a lower energy level and emits one photon of light.
Electronegativity is the measure of pull one atom has on another. Electron affinity is the amount of energy that is released when a neutral atom gains an electron.

It can be positive or negative depending on if the atom loses or gains an electron. If it gains an electron it becomes negative and if it loses an electron it becomes positive.
An electron has a negative charge, so if a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion. A negative ion is called an anion.
The electron gains energy.
An Ion. More specifically if it gains an electron it becomes an anion and it it loses an electron it becones an cation (pronounced Kat-ion)
The electron gains energy.
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in to its outer most energy shell ( reduction) it becomes the chloride anion. Cl(g) + e^- = Cl^-(g)
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
